I Learnt something from this . Appliedmaths, is it ideal enough to include my cover letter in the body of my mail ? or as an attachment ?.Note that when the cover letter is in the mail body the sender address and the recruiting company address might distorted in the process. or can i attach both the cover letter and the Cv along together. Thanks for helping out .

By now you should have noticed that majority of job adverts fails to give the Applicant a detailed address to forward his/her cover letter to, the best common practice is to construct a cover letter as the body of your email while you attach the CV. If you have the address of the hiring company and you also know who to address the letter to then you can attach both files to avoid distortions.

Like you rightly put it, if you don't attach the cover letter it would be distorted, the common practice over the years has been to construct a cover letter as the body of the mail by simply addressing it to the Hiring manager while you attach the CV.

Always follow instructions, know what the recruiter wants and do not send a CV without a cover letter.

You missed the last F*CK(ING) bro!

At everyone viewing this thread, I'm still learning more. And in few weeks time I'll compile a short note on why you need to be in the first category of job candidates (Referrals) and not always in category two (random job applicants), till then let's take it one step at a time by completing the process of creating a good CV.

jefy:
Nice info at op, just curious,is it okay if tables or text boxes are used in formating a cv? My fear is often time,cv distortions occur upon sending via email..And other questions i would love you to answer in order to clear doubts. Are referees your family members or your bosses? What do you think are the perfect fonts,size,spacing to use in a cv? Will be glad if you can add flesh to these. Thanks

Tables and boxes can be used creatively, it depends on how crafty you can be, personally I use tables in my CV. The bottom line is to make your CV catchy, a moderate design that'll make it interesting to go through.

For Fonts just use Times new roman 10 or 12, do not exceed 12.

Try to "Justify" your CV, for the distortions that's why we advise people to use pdf formats while sending their CV's except the Application process strictly states Ms word.

For Referees, except your family member is a very important figure in a high place ex Dangote, do not use immediate family members as your reference this may be seen as a fraudulent move by the Applicant.

ukjerry:
Hey Appliedmath, tried sending you a pm but I keep getting "sent too many anonymous mails" and I'm confused.

Pls can I also send my CV for you to look into it and correct where necessary? I will be immensely grateful.

I've seen your PM, I'll revert I a few days time.

Whytdot:
Hi, Appliedmaths. I have sent several mails to you but it has failed to deliver. Is there any other way I can send my cv across to you?

I've seen your mail I'm yet to reply. Currently responding to some people now... just hold on.

Pojomojo:
THEY WERE NUMBER ONE IN THE WHOLE OF LEKKI NOW, I CANT SAY MUCH ABOUT THEM.

sasquareT:
boss happy new month. I'll appreciate it if you can help me have a quick look at my CV thanks
pls I just pm you now..

Seen! Would revert in a few days time.

I have been on a silent follower of Nairaland, I have met a few people who have turned out to be amazing friends, I don't want to mention names for the sake of their privacy. Now, Appliedmaths happens to be one of them, and he has been a wonderful friend, coincidentally we graduated from same higher institution. Over time we have watched ourselves grow, we rub minds, help people and also share ideas.
Because this is his thread I decided to come in to assist in any little way, trust me when I say we have both gotten invites and jobs via NL, even my current job was from here.
The points highlighted by Appliedmaths are very important during the process of Job application, please permit to add that most fresh graduates use generic CV to apply for jobs which also hinders chances of being invited. In other words, if you apply for 5 different jobs in a day, your CV should be edited to suit each position being applied.
Oops, make I stop here for now


PS :I ain't a HR neither do I work with one.

Lol... you know say me I get BIG eye, you that forced me to take that teaching job that year only for it to be a stepping stone to greatness.

Make me sef stop here.

jjogad:
Pls can I send my resume for free review? Thanks

Send me a PM, I'll reply buy it wouldn't be urgent. My hands are full right now.

blessed4ever1:
I do not have a prepared cover letter, though I send CVs with detailed email that could suffice as a cover letter. Perhaps I should send my CV as well for your candid opinion. How do I do that? I don't know how to PM please.

Happy new month all.

I've seen your PM already, I'm yet to reply.

Still available... come and carry.

Pojomojo:
THEYARE LEGIT AND VERY RELIABLE BUT FOR NOW I CANT SAY ABOUT THEIR RELIABILTY

Let me get this straight, you said they are legit and reliable but you went further to say you can't vouch for their reliability now, so what made them reliable in the first place and what has changed so far, please inform us.

mylove4God:
Thanks but I don't have your email address please.

I've replied your PM, just reply again by attaining the CV this time around.

blessed4ever1:
I have been applying for jobs and my CV got a nod from some HR friends that reviewed it.

Yet I cannot brag about a rewarding interview from a reputable company or even a job. Quite frustrating! @AppliedMaths what could be wrong.

Please help!!!

Thanks for your assistance.

How about your cover letter? Type of jobs you apply for? Level of qualification required for the jobs you apply for? Having a good CV is stage 1A, then comes an irresistible cover letter, followed by a skillful job test tactics then finally the interview hurdle.

So let's stick to stage 1A... If you have successfully scaled stage 1A then you need to look into other factors, like I say do say "bad e bad, person fit fall out for job tests and interviews and still feel relaxed but never feel relaxed when the invites stops coming in or don't come in at all."

keko14:
I try all my best, please sir help me.

In all honesty, the truth is that jobs are scarce but there are technical procedures required to give one an upper edge among others.

The job hunt is a job on its own and the way I've seen it on the field (on a level ground), it is mandatory that one has an outstanding CV, sharp job test skills and sound interview skills as well.

This topic is aimed at guiding people how to draft a good CV and also sharing real life experience as to why many don't get that invite.

So if I may come in, I'll say you start by making research on how to build a good CV by following the tips I gave above... send what you have been able to come up with to good hands to review.

My hands are full now... but if you don't mind send a PM I'll revert in few days.

Prince6336:
