I think you should chronologically arrange your qualifications according to their dates PROPERLY...

Lastly, check your spellings scrupulously e.g ''... boasting record integrity by 95%", I think the word should be BOOSTING. You don't want to tell your interviewer that you can't spell or proof read properly.

Cool achievements by the way... #DropsPen

Your CV Is good bro the only error I'm seeing is 2nd of March.... Your 'nd' must be on same level with the '2' since you are referring to a 'Date' and not a 'position'.... Then there is no need for the 'of'... Your Date should look like this.. (2nd March, 1993) be mindful of the comma(,) after 'March' it is very important.

Please, owe no one an explanation. However, I do not think that your sales boy work experience is necessary.

Your cv should be adaptable, that is, Try to include relevant experiences depending on the job you are applying for.
Or depending on the organisation you're applying to. Don't just cram everything on it.

Instead of his stating the functions you performed under each job,
State your achievements instead and quantify them if possible.

Thank you for taking out time to reply, please I need few clarifications

Publicworky
...2. Mission statement/Objective
Don't use same Objective for all job you are applying., tailor it to suit the one you are applying...

Your mission statement is a summary of who you are, where you’ve studied and have worked, and what you will be bringing to the job if hired.
I apply for virtually the same type of jobs (accounting jobs only), I guess I won't really need to be changing my mission statement?
What do you think of my current mission statement?


Sixkobo:
...According to your CV you started working at the age of 11 where you are suppose to be in school... Please delete the age above... Let them invite you for interview to know instead of lying on your CV.
I don't know why I don't like this part, probably because of the passed judgement without any evidence.

Thank you anyway.

Please take note of these minor but hugely significant errors:
"precedes over community development meetings" - you preside not precede. So it is, 'presides over community development meetings.'
"boasting record integrity by 95%" - you boost not boast. So it should also be, 'boosting record integrity by 95%.'

I love your CV by the way, and I admire it.

Education and Qualification coming after bio-data... Isn't that for entry level CVs?

Funny, but seriously, my environment was the key.
I'm sorry if you can't relate with it probably because in your case, after school you go home to sleep and wait to be spoon fed.

Change the verbs in all your past work experience to past tense.

Why is your ICAN qualification showing "in view" as at 2015? Just curious
Thank you, I can't believe I didn't take note of the verb, thank you so much.
I'm an Economics graduate, so I started from "Foundation" (PE1)

Arrange "Properly" as in? You mean, the 'in view' should come up I guess?

Error noted. Mistakes make us human, that is why I posted my CV here in the first place.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your contribution.

Not really an explanation though, I made my CV public, so in as much as it is not a sensitive question, I can decide to give an answer.

Even though it has no DIRECT relationship with my CV's focus, it's still a strong point(in it own way). It show a lot, like: long time market familiarity, etc

Nice layout with good action words/verbs. You could as well move your linkedin profile just below your email address above. And aside your current work experience, using 'past tense' to describe your previous work would be ideal while maintaining your action verbs; thus
Prepares > Prepared, Manages > managed etc. Like someone earlier suggested, highlighting your achievements/accomplishment rather than duties is ok.

All the same, nobody is perfect. Take every correction(s) and constructive criticism as a motivation towards being better.

Don't forget: God First in everything.

Best regards

You could add in some deliverables to the tasks you have listed in the CV. You did all these things to what end? How did these help the organisations you worked for? What value(s) did your tasks create?

See the ''Professional Experience'' section of the attached.

Too many lie add in your cv. The time u graduated served are nothing like with your educational background. And it's too lengthy only a patient Hr manger will go through all these

1.Why not put the LinkedIn address and Website at the top along with your name & address. For international jobs scrap the Personal data.
2. For the Work experience, you can start with power words in past tense...e.g Managed, designed, audited... ATS sometimes pick up these words...2a...more like job description... You can put your achievements in the 2 page along with your work experience..and few bullet points..3 bullet point should be enough.
3. You can also write some of the words in Full:...Oct- October. /Admin..
4.Lovely profile summary, but try to be more specific..
5. Education qualifications and certification lovely.
6.Your can change the Transferrable skills title to something like Technical Skills/ Additional skills.
7.Coreldraw instead of Corel draw - no space... Web design...avoid too much -ing..
8. Achievements should be at the top before work experience or integrate into your work experience..
9. Character deposition.. You can leave it but not really necessary.
10. For the interest, You can make IT interest and activities..blogging, book review and contributor to spiceworks magazine..etc
11. Add the references or scrap available on request. Not really necessary nowadays.

Overall, fantastic CV.

Op there is no good or bad way of writing a CV/resume anywhere, trust me people will keep on suggesting this and suggesting that to u.
But one thing u need to do is make sure you check your spellings well, use the right verb and u will be fine.
