Use Professional Fonts On Your CV

The only mental idea every prospective employer creates about you is what your CV says about you. This means that you are being judged by what potential employers see on paper. If you want them to see you as a hire-able professional, then your CV should look professional.

Here are some few ways to go about that;

- Stick to Arial, Calibri or the Times New Roman Font.

- Don’t highlight any part of your resume with colours and fancy fonts.

- Use only font sizes of 11 or a maximum of 12.

Include A Qualifications Summary Section On Your CV Which Should Answer The “What Do I Have To Offer?” Question

Always have this at the back of your mind. Using a copy and pasted qualifications summary that was drafted from a sample on a CV writing website is a CV killer. Hiring managers have seen such a couple of time, and they know exactly where you got it from. To create a wonderful summary, you should know the company needs and how you can be able to solve them – when you write it down. The moment you can attract the hiring officer’s attention, you are just a step closer to getting the job.

Help me with the template pls sir

Use a template to write your CV. By using a CV template you are not restricting the way in which you can express yourself. A template makes your CV easier to read, and guides you not to leave-out important details of your achievements, qualifications and experience.

Attached to this post is a sample CV I downloaded online. You can customize it to suit your needs.

Hey, I have sent u the CV template,use it to redraft your's. Is in MSW. Pls open a new email acct,the one above sounds unprofessional. Cheers n good luck!

Give Attention To Your Educational Qualifications

Since it has been proven that the average maximum time to hold the attention of any hiring officer is 7 seconds, you should make the most out of it.

No one would want to swim in an ocean of information, just to see your educational qualification. It is one of the most important things in your CV. What you studied, any educational qualification that gives you an edge, and achievements you recorded should be paid attention to.

For those without work experience, you should focus more on optimizing this section, this section should be placed either at the top or centre of your CV – since it is where catches the recruiters’ attention the most.

List Out Valuable Work Experiences

Aside from your educational qualification, work experience can also be said to be the most important aspect of your CV. You should include any previous job you’ve handled in the past, your accomplishments on the job, and how it affected your previous firm positively.

Hint: This should be written in number and percentage form.

E.g. Set-up 2 control panels that helped reduce production downtime by 90%.

You are free to use bold fonts to highlight your achievements, but it should be done with caution.

Highlight Your Skills

There should be a specific section designed to list out the skills you have in your possession. The fact is that recruiters don’t always need the regular skills being listed out by almost every job-seeker.

Skills like;

- Attention to detail

- Analytic Reasoning, etc. should be minimally used.

Just be sure to include skills that make you stand out, and also relevant to the job you are applying for.

Please can I also get a CV template? Thanks. adagzy@gmail.com

Include Testimonials

I know a whole lot of job seekers won’t swallow this without a fight. The truth is who will believe all the numbers and percentages that you have outlined, without any form of proof? The best way to solidify your claim is to provide evidence from either a former boss or someone you have worked with before. If you can’t provide a testimonial, your CV might still look good all the same.

Create A Proper Sequence On Your CV

Since you have finally listed out the qualities that portray you as the best candidate, it is now important to make sure that your details follow a standard sequence.

After the Skill set summary (Objectives), you should follow it up with your educational qualifications, your work experience, core competencies, Seminars attended and Research works done.

Recheck For Grammatical Errors

Nothing kills a CV more than grammatical errors. How can you have good eyes for details, and you can’t detect simple grammatical errors? Be careful not to forget that your CV is an extension of you. Any rushed work without proofreading will not tell a good story about you. Endeavor to read out your write-up aloud and correct necessary errors.

Maintain A Great Online Profile

Most employers do a background check on employees before hiring – especially for top level jobs. It is necessary you maintain an online profile that is in line with your career objectives. Nothing incriminating should be found on your online profiles.
