Just be optimistic, it might not necessarily mean something is wrong with your CV nor your cover letter as the case may be.Most time CVs are selected on a random basis to reduce the number to a predetermined level for final selection. Most applicants chance of picking for inerview for every post applied for stands not up to 5 percent.

Hi,

I understand your plight.

However, there are some questions that need to be answered before adequate advice can be given.

What was your degree classification?

What degree?

What university? State or Federal, polytechnic or College of Education or Private? Not to demotivate anyone, but recruiters prefer Federal universities and some private universities.

Do you write your Cover Letter and CV yourself? Consider consulting the website contained in the link below. We are here to help. We would review everything free of charge and make the necessary changes free of charge!

Lastly, there are many fake jobs and jobsites around. Ours is safe and secure. Even the likes of Jobberman and Careers24 hardly get back to candidates!

Visit http://getemployednigeria1..com.ng/?m=1 or the website on the picture below for a free chat!

I hope this helps.

Hello Chisom,


I recently applied for the Plumbing and Fire Fighting Design Engineer position you advertised on Linkedin and I wanted to let you know how much of a great fit I think I am for the role.


I have over a year experience as a Building services engineer with a top international consulting firm, and I am presently handling Top Building Project within and outside the shores of the country.


I have a 2:1 in Mechanical engineering, AutoCAD Training with Covenant University and proven technical and professional support skills.


I will really appreciate an opportunity to interview for the role and maybe take you to dinner.....just kidding.


Thank you for your time Chisom, I look forward to hearing from you .


Find the link to my linkedin profile below.

Hello Sir,

I write to apply for the Digital Driller position that was advertised on LinkedIn.

I am Surname Firstname , a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering degree holder with over two years post graduation work experience as a Trainee welding Engineer and Trainee service engineer.

I possess professional Training in 2D and 3D CAD applications including AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Revit MEP.

I am very enthusiastic about the advertised Digital driller position and the exciting career growth opportunities it comes with.

Kindly find attached a copy of my Curriculum Vitae and Certifications.

Regards,

Before applying for any job, it is very important you go through the job requirements. It gives you a feel of what and who the recruiter or employer wants.

It is on that you build your application. What skill set are needed, what experience best sells you and all those shit.

Who the recruiter is too is, is very important.

The first cover I posted was to Chisom, a 20 something year old gorgeous cutie.

It'll be unnecessary to start calling her ma! So I addressed her by her first name and pushed my luck further to tell her I might take her on a date.

Who does that right?

Loonyy:
Good morning Bro, I may agree with you on this so pls here is a customised cover letter to a company n pls tell me how bad it is. Thanchu

I went through the Cover Letter and I ehhh...I have seen better ones.

Just be as simple as you can. And Please, don't send your cover letter as an attachment.

Always copy the content of the cover letter to the body of the mail.

Also attach your certificates. It help!

Loonyy:
Good morning Bro, I may agree with you on this so pls here is a customised cover letter to a company n pls tell me how bad it is. Thanchu

Hi there,

I have gone through your CV and cover letter, and there are a number of changes that need to be made.

Your CV should be concise - The CAREER OVERVIEW and ATTRIBUTES sections should be taken off. Employers have to look through thousands of CVs, and they usually look at only the first page. On that first page and at a first glance of your CV, they should see your Education and Work experience.

You put your education further down (2nd page) which is just a NO NO!

You didn't put any skills profile! Why?? Also, endeavour to tailor your cover letter and CV to the job description. (We will be writing about that on our website soon).

Try and incorporate hobbies that are close to the job position you are applying to. For example, Graduate Software Developer should be something like "I like coding and currently run a coding website". Points like that!

Also, a rule of thumb - Never post a statement without backing it up whether on your cover letter or CV. For example, "I am able to work creatively and independently, with minimal supervision" was the first attribute on your CV. How do I really know that's true? The best approach is "I am able to work creatively and independently, with minimal supervision, as seen from my retail manager position, when I used my own initiative in making a decision that gained the company 40 new customers". YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BACK IT UP! That said, you should remove the ATTRIBUTES and CAREER OVERVIEW Sections. I just used that as an example!

Your cover letter also needs changes!

First of all, you didn't include the address of the company your are applying to.

Also, your cover letter is not rich! You need to include an opening paragraph about how you got to know about the vacancy, and your "undergraduate/graduate status" including your degree, and current degree classification (2.1, 2.1 and so on).

Second paragraph should state why you want the job and why the company. Third paragraph should state why you should be hired, and fourth paragraph should conclude.

At the end, you put this "P.S. I hope you won’t mind if i follow up on Friday in case i haven’t gotten any response by then". Take if off! It makes you look desperate. You can contact the company without stating it on your cover letter.

Also, you used "Yours Sincerely" (s should be small letter) and you don't know the addressee; you should have used "Yours faithfully".

You didn't really use punctuation in your cover letter and your font is not great, I will recommend Arial, or Calibri if you want to save space.

We will need to check your spelling and grammar.

We can do all the necessary adjustments for free! We want you to get a job. So use our contact form to get in touch, and we can bring you many steps closer to landing your dream job!

I hope this helps.

I was like that. Its a passing stage bro. You will tell good stories soon.

My brother its terrible. I pray God pick my call on tym

Nairalanders have given you good suggestions so far. but i will like to add that you need to work on your cv and cover letter as suggested but you need to continue to apply. you should not give up until you succeed in landing that dream job. if there are seminars around you on how to improve your job searching i will implore you to attend. Are you on LinkedIn? if not register today and start networking with the ogas at the top(HR professionals). You can also contact the recruitment agencies in your area, they could be of help too. i wish you success in your job search.
