This a generic CV. What is your preferred direction? Always try to edit your CV to suit a particular job role you intend to apply to.

Right after your contact details, add a summary section and state what you have to offer -- in 3 to 5 sentences. In other words, what can you really do? That's what most employers want to know. Move your 'strenghts' section to the top, rename it as 'summary' and tidy it up.

You're not the only one who taught students during NYSC. So what sets you apart from the next person?

In order to get a good job, the fact is, it's either you have solid experience, or you are very highly skilled and you can prove it.

Maybe you should concentrate on applying to graduate trainee positions instead.

i would suggest a brief introduction like an objective statement to get a feel on your person.
something that would highlight your strengths in relation to the job you are applying for.

an example of what i would suggest in the summary below. but it has to be tailored to the specific job being applied for.

A highly focused individual with a 2.1 degree in economics
and sound knowledge of basic economics principles
as well as in depth knowledge in complex economic issues coupled with
excellent communication/facilitation
skills from my various work experiences.

The problem with your CV is the same problem with the CV of many Graduates in Nigeria.


No extra curricular activity!

No professional training/Certification

No Internship (IT) experience

No Nothing


I'm yet to see a more empty CV!

I know it hurts but I don't like deception. Sorry smiley

I know a handful of undergraduates that have better CV!

The job market is competitive, foreign MSC grads are without jobs.

The late night reading shouldn't stop after B.Sc.

There are a couple of free online courses that are internationally recognized that you could take.

There are tons of ways to better your CV in less than a week.

Don't just stay in your comfort zone and open NL threads.


Get serious and get to work.



Goodluck!

Re: Help !! What Is Wrong With My Cv! Why Is The Job Not Coming! by Richy4(m): 8:41pm On Mar 09, 2016
I will not lie to you my dear it is kind of dry.... You really need to standout from the crowd..... You really need to let the employer know that u got something interesting to offer to them.... First u let them know who u are and what u wanted...

Your CV is good but it lacks profile... who are you and what do you want/ objective

EXAMPLE OF PERSONAL PROFILE

"I am driven and energetic finance graduate, seeking a position where I can engage
my experience, skills and studies to make a positive and productive contribution to the workplace.

Having completed a Bachelor’s degree in Economics, I have gone on to establish myself professionally in roles across finance, as well as Acting as an AD HOC Staff at the Independent Elec......

Across these roles I have demonstrated that I am an effective, reliable performer with
sound communication, organizational and people skills. With a solid work ethic and
desire to excel I believe I am also someone who does not shy away from going above
and beyond the requirements of a role to do it well."

Please write something like this after you have finished your Address..... It kind of summarised who you are.....and some of the things u can offer.....
Good luck dear

Felliw zikite,

Many important points have been made already, I know you are taking note.

Your CV is virtually empty. Nothing to show that you even have a basic skills of computer apprecation; Microsoft word, excell and PowerPoint. Didn't you do afrihub at unizik (I did).

Now, visit coursera.org and check out all the courses they offer there. Enroll for any one you feel is inline with your field.
Visit Alison.com and enroll for Project Management. It is completely free with a certificate once you score above 75% in the final assessment. also enroll for financial management, risk management and any other management course you can find in alison.com.

Within 2wks, you will have at least 4 certifications that can spice up your CV.

Stop wasting your data on Nairaland and Facebook.

You don't need international recognition for free courses; you pay thru your nose for online courses from internationally recognised institution.

Having said that, you can visit coursera.org and alison.com.

For coursera, they offer courses directly from foreign universities. If you pay for their project that follows the course, your certificate will have the name of the university in it and it is internationally recognised. Payment ranges from $30 to $150 (which is stl very okk).

Alison.com gives you free courses; after completing and passing the course, you will pay for the certificate if you need it, otherwise, you will be given a free statement of accomplishment which is still valid.

You print it out and include it in your CV.
