If I include only related work experience. What happens to the gap created on my employment history, or assuming I held the position earlier in my career but currently in a different field or role, how do I sell myself?

nice one.
But Age is important. Nobody wants to hire a 50 year old man for a 25 year old job or vice versa.

There is nothing like a unique CV. If a person can be employed without even a CV, then a CV does little or nothing.

Put God first
Make it brief
Depend solely on God
Soon you'll land yourself a job.

Good luck to us all.

Use ur highest academic qualification. No need including everything from ur Kindergarten, Nursery, Primary, Secondary and BSC/HND.

If BSC/HND is ur highest academic qualification, no need including Secondary Sch & Primary Sch.

It's a waste of space for valuable information. Unless, otherwise requested.
What if M.Sc is my highest academic qualification, I shouldn't include my B.Tech, B.Sc or HND abi?

2. Education Background
If you are a university graduate or have a college diploma then you do not need to include all your other education details. Your university degree is your highest level of education and that’s all that matters. If you are yet to graduate, you can include both the secondary school and the university where you’re currently enrolled and for which course.

I once went for an interview and my interviewer was not pleased I didn't add my o'level

These 10 Things On Your CV Could Be The Reason You’re Not Getting Hired Coming up with a well written, concise CV is one of the hardest tasks ever.
HR Managers and recruiting officers have thousands of CVs to go through. Therefore, your CV can be disqualified simply because of small mistakes here and there and maybe, just maybe, that is why you are not getting call backs from potential employers.cc lasticala


Did you say no one cares about age? From my little experience working in an human capacity consulting firm, ages in Nigeria is important

Here’s how to come up with the perfect CV: 1. Unnecessary personal information
Anything besides your name, email address and contact information should not be included on your CV. Details such as your tribe, age, height, weight and religion are minor details that no one cares about.

. Sorry, i want to know if its necessary not to present ur primary, secondary certs since it wasnt included in the CV proper. This point is somehow, some organization/companies would want to know ur Educational history/progression in details. And note they uses ur primary school cert. to acertain ur age u used in ur CV, cos some employee do lie a lot about their age.

E.g i have a friend that claimed 1987 as date of birth &he obtained his FSLC in 1994, meaning he finished his primary school at age 7 (this is not possible) in the Nigerian 6-3-3-4 Educational system.
Atleast 10yrs is ok for FSLC.
This is what Govt use in screening applicants out in any recruitment process except you used connection to get the job.
