ICEWIN: Check this: Job Title: Experienced Assistant House Master Location: Lagos Requirement Possess an OND, NCE qualification. Application Closing Date 29th May, 2023. Method of Application Interested and qualified candidates should send their CV to: career@keenbritishschool.org using the Job Title as the subject of the mail. Just try. When asked for salary give a range N120k-150k or .ore and state that yiu are open for negotions. I stated that range because it is for an asssistant role. If you know the place go there. It is a not a teaching role from what i can see but your experience as a teacher can help place you above others. I just noticed that closing date for Application is today. Try to submit one before .midnight ? |

extol1: Tips to writing cover letters. 1) Pray first and always FATHER in heaven thank YOU for this job opportunity YOU made me come across. Please LORD I want to draft my cover letter for this job, direct me on how best to go about it in JESUS mighty name I ask, amen. Thank YOU LORD for answering me in JESUS name, amen. 2) Never ever submit a cV a without cover letter, no matter how unserious the recruiter seems. If the recruiter is deemed unserious by you but not enough to discourage you from applying, or sending your CV to them, you MUST include a cover letter. A cover letter keeps the body of your email page from being stark cold empty. It also shows that you are a thoughtful person and you care about who is on the other end of the communication line. You are not just hitting them with your needs, "My CV is here okay, check!" A cover letter is just like any normal formal letter that you must write to...sort of water the entrance to your CV...You greet the employer, you try to show your enthusiasm by trying to "woo" them to employ you, but in a formal professional kind of way. Like trying to tell them, "my CV arnt gonna be boring but worth your while". In secondary school, we were taught that "Dear Sir," is 100% good enough greeting for formal letters. Don't go overboard. 2) This next tip is inspired by GOD: There is always an expo on constructing a winning cover letter. and it is hidden in the job requirements/qualifiactions: e.g let's look at this job ad below and study its job requirement: Job Title: Graphic Designer The first things you want to state in your cover letters are the top three or four of these requirements in such a way that it doesn't feel like you are throwing the recruiters' words directly at them! 1.Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design or a related field 2.Proven experience as a graphic designer 3.Demonstratable graphic design skill with a strong portfolio 4.Proficiency with required desktop publishing softwares 5.A strong eye for visual composition Someone like me, will pick the first four or three requirements and ensure the recruiter sees that first. e.g Dear Sir, Application for the position of a (always use the exact job title they used here) in XYZ company ( in your company if the ad is without a name; this is not compulsory though). I have a Bachelors degree in ..... and have over 3 years experience in working as a supervisor where I...at this point begin to talk about some responsibilities you handled that is stated in their requirements or begin to talk about achievements you made in previous roles that you know would be the same goals or results for the role. e.g if a sales company is calling for a sales person, you automatically know they want you to help them sell their product as fast as possible with profit. So if you have ever sold off goods for your mom, friend, previous companies in such a way that people wondered aloud how you did it so fast, you would need to show off your speed here or rate at which you sell off goods or any skills you think might set you apart from other candidates (in few words; concise and clear) 3) Lastly, with those two tips in mind, if you still need guidance to construct a cover letter, go to any search engine and type, sample graphics designer cover letter or sample sales rep cover letter or sample customer service cover letter etc. And use it as a guide. Never copy word for word; you must exercise your brain 1 Like |

Tradegood:apart from montessori what other cert do this school always ask for sir? |
Re: Debunking The Myth That You Must Know Someone To Get A Job by Tradegood: 1:00pm On Jun 23, 2023 |
ICEWIN:Okay, kindly give me time to check. Don't be wary okay, that is the purpose of all these challenges, to keep you wary. Make up your mind that they won't master you, because GOD had made you master over them. Sing praise when you feel down, it confuses the devil. Guess what? When praises go up, blessings come down. Praise GOD because HE is deserving of praise not because you are trying to force HIS hand. It confuses the devil every single time, trust me. GOD is preparing you for greatness. |
