The best way is to make sure that you know one big man in the company or related to it.

I sent over 600 (not exaggerating) applications when I was looking for work last year using this above template and was called maybe like 3 times..

You forgot to include all the GNLD interviews you attended.

I work in HR and I go through lots of CVs. One common mistake people make is not allowing the key info specified in the vacancy advert to stand out. I spend an average of 30 secs to 1 min on each CV. If I don't see what I'm looking for, I move on.

For instance, some people are talking job experience and start with their first job 10 years ago. Or they put lots of unnecessary details about a job or educational qualification that has nothing to do with the vacancy. You are disqualifying yourself

Another way round it is to open the MS-doc on MS-Word 2010, and then save as PDF

Extremely frustrating. You apply and then get an invite in less that 3hrs, scheduled for the next day. You run helter-skelter and even borrow money to photocopy your documents, you take your cloths to the dry cleaner ('cause you no longer trust your ironing skills) even give Aboki (cobbler) your shoe to polish ('cause you want 'professional' touch), and you have a sleepless night 'cause you don't want to mistakenly "over-sleep". You then get to the venue and you are compelled to listen to a 4-hour talk, that has no "head" or "leg". You wait patiently, hoping that it is a test of your patience, and you keep the optimism spirit high. After your perseverance, you now discover it GNLD. You just "jeje-ly" excuse yourself after wasting the day. Now when I get an invite, cross-check on Nairaland before I determine whether or not to attend. Also most firms will give you about 2-3days notice before the D-day.
I love Nairaland

No oh! Me na experienced hire so i no dey fall for all that one..

To me, the best way to get better work if you no get conneee...is to come as a cleaner or security or student I.T man. Honestly, if u are intelligent and hardworking, u go find urself as the manager before 5yrs

How can you say Mr OP is wrong. Have you worked in HR Unit before? Mr OP is so right abegi
