After letting your potential employers know who you are and the value you can add to their organization, the next thing they want to know is your educational qualifications so that they can find out whether you have the skills and necessary trainings required for the job.

You can honestly write your educational qualifications but it may appear as if you’re economical with the truth. To avoid this, spell out everything in believable terms starting from the most recent. To ensure maximum effectiveness, start from the most important item in the description of your educational qualifications.

Outline them this way:

◆ Name of the degree (spell it out, for example Bachelor of Science) and the name of the major (Equally spell it out, e.g. Accountancy)
◆ Class of degree
◆ Include the date
◆ Then the name of the university or institution
◆ Location of the institution

In your degree title, you can include information like minor and GPA (Grade Point Average) –that’s only if it will give you an edge or it is required.

Here is an example:

Bachelor of Science, Mass Communication (2001 – 2005)
University of Harvard, USA

Here is another example:

Bachelor of Science, Accounting (1999 - 2003)
Second Class Honours (Upper Division)
University of Lagos, Nigeria

Those are short, simple and believable.

Guys, This post dated back 2009...But it is still very useful unfortunately, I will not be suprised if you do not get any response from the op. Anyway if you are interested, I can help review your CV (Free of charge). If you are interested send your CV to andrewbayode@gmail.com. I will send them (reviewed, with observations) back to you within 48hrs. Do not forget to indicate which position/role you are applying/aspiring for.

Kindly note the following

For every job application, there is a unique CV that matches that role hence your CV should not be generic. If your CV is generic, then it will not catch the attention of the recruiter because it is not different from what every other applicants have submitted. This means your CV is not doing its job - not securing you job interview. For your CV to be a "killer CV" One needs to have to special, unique and organized CV specially for the position being applied for.

Good luck!!!

2003-2007: X.X.X State Petroleum Technological University, X.X.X, Country.
