Before venturing into CV writing/rewriting service, I did a thorough research on major aspects of CV. I found out that adding. reference or referee was a common preference of applicants in this part of the world and using Nigeria as a point of reference. As a result of its ineffectiveness, I started discouraging my clients from adding it. I however came across a prospective client who insisted I should include his referees and when I studied the supposed CV, I had to agree with him because his referees were heavy weights in Nigerian politics. Being a Niger Deltan, he was asked to submit the CV to one of the top oil servicing companies in his area. He stressed emphatically that without the 'cabals' being mentioned, he may not get the job. I therefore submit that adding referee is relative. If you think it will serve an undeniable purpose, why not? Add it. Otherwise, as some have opined, it would only be a waste.

... glad it's helpful.

Prof Jay, I hail o.

...just be careful. If they have a name, google it. In the realm of technology, there are no more hidden secrets.

I'm not very sure you got the address right 'cos it's not opening. Perhaps you meant www.cvwizards.com.ng now www.procvnigeria.com ...

Although, I've never engaged their service before cos I run a similar outfit but I guess if they're not good, they would have folded up. For them to have even widened their business horizon means they're doing good. I trust Nairalanders, if they've written nonsense for them, some of them would have come to complain or open a thread to thrash them. So, try put your 2 and 2 together to arrive at a decision. Hope this helped a bit.

...short of words.

Great news to those who are qualified.

Op you are correct but I have an opinion... And yes I am in HR

I. If a job opening require you to send ONLY your cv. . . . For example send your CV to a particular email or the career portion of the company website. Just send CV alone. It's may be reviewed, selected and sorted by an intern (NYSC MEMBER, IT STUDENT) or the HR assistant, or admin staff.

2. When the application information clearly states that your should send in a Cover note or cover letter then you can do so. Or when sending an unsolicited application, a cover letter is then necessary.

3. When the application says send a passport photograph as an attachment ... Please do not send a selfie of you posing or smiling except if the application is that of maybe a radio station, media out fit.. or something pertaining to entertainment.

4. Every potential employer is unique and different... So do not dwell on WHAT your COVER LETTER or what your CV says you can do. Employers are looking for people (graduate and non graduate) who can solve the problems, create value, active listeners, intuitive and ready to make impact. That's why aptitude test, personality test and interviews are being done to sieve those who are

An advice to employment seeking graduate and non graduate alike ....

5. Do not let anyone belittle you because you are seeking paid employment.. Soldiers, policemen, teachers, drivers, TV presenters, factory workers, painters, bankers all work for people and government. Not every man is destined to be an entrepreneur or hustler. Keep on trying it will work out. Internet is your friend. Learn more. Don't give up and keep calling on your God. (whichever one you serve).

6. Entrepreneurs need people also to bring their dream to reality . So if your attitude is I CAN'T WORK FOR ANYBODY MENTALITY .... Then why should anybody come and work for you when you have established yourself?

Money isn't the ultimate.

In life, people will have SOME.......
And in this life people will have MORE.....
But together we both have SOME~MORE..

Thanks for your helpful input Vicque

That's great

Good of her.

Cool stuff

The labour market has become volatile and fierce. For each slot or position available, hundreds or thousands of job seekers will always be waiting in line. This is true especially when you view it from the perspective of online applications. When it comes to building up your CV, everything humanly possible must be done to make it outstanding. You’ve got to construct a stand-out CV that no recruiter can disdain or skip over.

Tips To Make Your CV Outstanding From The Packs:

1. Educational Accomplishments should be stressed. Giving prominence to this is especially true if your employment history or work experience is very short. ‘Freshers’ or those about to graduate from the education system should take note of this. If you have a good grade, point it out. Volunteer work you’re involved in and its effect on the community, etc. These will prove that despite your limited work experience, you’ve already demonstrated a good sense of responsibility, consistency and how to relate with others.

2. Success and Responsibility should be highlighted using numbers to quantify your worth. State how your input brought about changes; be it via profit margin, volume of sales or business expansion. For example, If you’re a supervisor, mention the number of workers under you; total projects brought into the company and how they have improved the income of the company; how much you’re able to save your company in terms of cutting costs, etc.

3. Keywords or Phrases must be adequately used especially those ones that relate to your career path. These will ensure your hitting the right notes. Most medium size and highly placed organizations or corporations most often make use of ATS (Applicant Tracking System) to make their selection process quick and effortless.

4. Power Words are focused verbs that portrays you as a player that gets things done effectively. Begin your sentences with power words such as: maximized, increased, initiated, resolved, etc. These words are crucial for emphasizing that you don’t just perform tasks, essentially, you produce outstanding results.

5. Highlight Awards/Achievements/Recognition bestowed on you to acknowledge your contributions which may include being part of a team that carried out successful projects. Outstanding CVs normally use keywords such as: selected by, recognized for, elected, etc.

In conclusion, try as much as possible to tailor your CV to fit into the position you are applying for. Gone are those days of sending out the same CV for all and every available position. Recruiters can perceive them from miles away and this can put your identity in a generic category where ‘everything goes’. Therefore, a concrete way to create an outstanding CV is to have professionals in this vicinity review it and if possible, fix all the glitches for you. This is the most effective way through which you can construct an outstanding CV – providing everything from designs, key-words/phrases, and possibly showing you examples of exceptional CVs.
