Quite interesting posts on here. Some of you may not know this about the Jobberman free CV review. When you uploaded you CV, a software and not a real person scanned it. The software just commented on the size & format of the document, identified what areas you have experience in and for how long etc. Basically things you already know about your CV. It was just a marketing stunt.

About paying Jobberman to write your CV, I think its a good idea cos
1. Its jobberman na, they know where the jobs are and I believe will advice you as to where to apply
2. Jobberman can afford softwares that scan to see if a CV is keyword optimized esp if the CV is going to be submitted to an applicant tracking system
3. As already stated, the mentorship, if available, is worth it

Not trying to market for them o, just saying.

Interesting, this invariably means JOB OPPORTUNITIES...

gokuskeys:
Bro, 2:1 and first class are very smart set of people, and so will I advice you to WORK Smart and not hard.... Successful people WORK SMART.

WRONG!!! The Grade Point Average has never been a proven way to measure inteligence or brilliance. My opinion

Quite Interesting...

Its not a bad idea if you are applying for a position in advertising, graphics designing or the likes. Otherwise, all this colour on a CV might just give the wrong impression. Its definately a bad idea if the resume is to be submitted to an Applicant Tracking System.

As big disruptive shifts hit the workplace we all get taken out of our comfort zones. Whereas once we felt in control, the stakes are evolving rapidly and our ability to adapt is falling behind. If we consider the recent gallup poll results that indicates that only a mere 30% of the workforce is actually committed to doing a good job, engaged, it really drives home the point that we may need to take a deeper look at the skills we have today, map them against the various trends that are impacting the workplace, and derive a view to the skills we will need moving forward.

A recent report published by the Institute for the Future (IFTF), does an outstanding job of identifying the key work skills and capabilities needed in the next few years (and arguably needed now). Here they are

Sensemaking

Steve Jobs once said ““Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something”. Sensemaking is all about the ability to connect things to create new ideas. Quoting Maria Popova, who has really crystallized this notion, in order for us to truly create and contribute to the world, we have to be able to connect countless dots, to cross-pollinate ideas from a wealth of disciplines, to combine and recombine these pieces and build new castles.

Social Intelligence

Relationships and the ability to connect with people becomes and remains a crucial capability, however, as John Hagel thoughtfully points out, influence and relationship-building will now come from asking the right questions, not necessarily having all the answers. In the age of the individual, you can no longer assume that every person shares the same goals, desires and motivators. Whether you are engaging with an employee or a customer, everyone is unique and wants to be catered to in a way that’s unique to them. The ability to connect with people in a deeper, more meaningful way whether they are colleagues or strangers will enable us to thrive in beyond the industrial age, get things done and solve complex problems. To do so, and despite the abstraction of technology, we must continue to develop capabilities to quickly understand other’s emotions, motivations and triggers and take a human approach to business.

Novel & Adaptive Thinking

As employment growth gets polarized into either ends of low-skill jobs or high-skills jobs, it is important that we always evolve our thinking towards the future to ensure we stay relevant. At the pace by which companies are changing, staying up-to-date is no longer enough. Taking self-initiative to constantly improve your skills, pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone, becoming a perpetual student, and quickly adapting to new realities will help ensure you are creating value and will keep you out of the cross-hairs for outsourcing.

Cross-Cultural Competencies

The recent Harvard Business Review piece “How to say “This is Crap” in different cultures serves yet another reminder as to how important it is to be able to be effective in different cultural settings. Globalization is no longer the buzzword in corporate America, it is reality. Many of us work globally every day, interacting with a multitude of cultures, but those who know how to empathize and adjust their communications and style of collaboration, will always have an advantage when working across geographies and cultures.

Computational Thinking

No, this doesn’t mean you should think like a computer, but nonetheless, being analytical becomes center-stage as data is everywhere. You get it from all sorts of sources, whether you are sifting through dozens of emails, or crunching huge Excel spreadsheets. The ability to translate vast amounts of into actual insight is now, more than ever a critical skill. Many of us work with data on a daily basis, but to understand the meaning, the trends and patterns of what the data is telling us becomes paramount. Are sales tanking? Are people jumping ship? These are things you wouldn’t be able to tell just a single number.

New Media Literacy

Still printing your 50-slide powerpoint decks? The world of videos, blogs, and podcasts has changed the way we communicate and consume information. With an entire generation that was born digital entering the workforce, everyone will need to become fluent in digital and social media forms of communications in the same way that they currently assess a paper or presentation.

Transdisciplinarity

In the age of mounting competition and vast technological change, the capabilities needed to successfully differentiate a company and win in the marketplace are much broader than they were in the past. We can no longer rely on just bringing together groups of specialists to solve our most complex problems. Instead, companies are in need of Generalists (or polymaths if you prefer that word) with new, agile skills that can see the big picture, listen, synthesize ideas and connect the dots.

Design Mindset
We live in a transitional phase between an old “business world” where mass production ruled and products and services were conceived in a lab and then rolled out to the masses and a “new world” where people-centric approaches are increasingly being used to create new products and services that are thoughtfully designed through interdisciplinary teams and collaborative processes. A design mindset refers to the ideas and attitudes by which a person approaches a situation. It is about focusing on human values and developing a deep understanding of the people that matter most to the problem we’re trying to solve. Through practicing empathy, whether through conversation, observation or experiencing, adopting a design mindset becomes a critical ingredient in the ability to execute successfully.

Cognitive Load Management

The shear amount of data and information that hits us in a short span of time has exponentially increased with streams in multiple formats coming from multiple devices. A tweet here, a text message or email there and pretty soon managing the flow and prioritization of all this information becomes a challenge. The ability to effectively filter and focus what on what really requires your attention becomes paramount. This includes effectively managing your channels, deciding where to participate vs. where not to and taking a disciplined approach to managing distractions as opposed to real priorities.

Virtual Collaboration

Whether you’re a fan of it or not, working and collaborating effectively virtually, whether on a simple task or a very complex challenge is a necessity as the nature of our work is globalized. Despite a variety of tools and technologies that are now available, we still struggle with being effective as members or leaders of virtual teams. Technologically, the future for virtual collaboration looks very promising with enterprise tech taking a page out of successful consumer ventures, but the virtual work also demands a new set of competencies and effort in order to ensure productivity in a cross-cultural, fully global reality.

In a world where staying relevant becomes a top priority (for individuals as well as companies), there are no guarantees that either of these skills will lead to success. The key becomes taking charge of your own destiny by evaluating where you are today and charting your personal map as to where you want to go.

Nice one OP. By way of addition, ATS systems basically search for keywords. They sort of match an applicant's CV to the Job Description. This is why it is essential to properly study the Job description of the gig you intend to apply for and tailor your CV to it.
Also ATS softwares are usually programmed to scan for conventional CV headings such as 'Work Experience', 'Education', etc. A functional CV may not do so well as it usually as headings based on individual skiils.
Once again, well done OP.

No offence to all of you asking for someone to send you free GMAT questions, but I must say that you are just being a bit Lazy. Simply typing 'GMAT PREP.pdf' into the google search bar will definately give you what you need. You could even get the official GMAT prep software(PC) for free from the GMAT website. Another option is to check torrent sites. Biko, help thyself. Once again, no offence intended
Cheers

I can't say I understand what you are going through but I can say that your CV doesn't sell you at all, your CV gives the impression that you don't know how to prioritze information. Please re-do the CV putting information that sells you FIRST, all the other stuffs can come afterwards. And biko, try to calm down and do a proper evaluation of yourself. Desperation is a terrible thing.
Most of all, hold on to God cos He loves working in seemingly hopeless situations.
Cheers

Quite interesting. OP, I have an issue with your topic. I don't think there is anything as a 'Job winning CV', at least most of the time. The basic thing a CV does is to get one an interview, at least most of the time. Learnt a few things here tho. Cheers

Eddyken:
HND, Coop Econs. & Mgt and a Graduate Member of NIM + Project Mgt Cert.

1. Being a graduate member of NIM doesn't really count for anything.
2. Having a project management certificate also doesn't count for much. Believe me quite a number of actual project management don't have certificates, rather they have achievements.
3. Most certifcations mean almost nothing cos a certification doesn't eqaul ability. Its the well recognised certifications that might help and they are usually very expensive or for only those who already have some work experience

I would advise you do the following
1. If you are really interested in project management, you should start by looking for somewhere to volunteer. If you are the assertive type, you could walk into any major building construction going on around you and ask to see the person in charge. Tell him/her you will work for FREE, beg if you have to.

2. Have you heard of Primavera? Its a project management software, you should learn how to use it if you don't already know how to. You can teach yourself online via youtube. There is hardly anything you can't teach yourself on youtube these days.

3. Evaluate yourself. Discover yourself, know your strengths and weaknesses and then match them to a particular career line, field or even several fields.

4. Do a new CV. If the $50 CV has not landed you an interview, then there is probably smt wrong with it. The truth is some 80-90% of CVs all look alike, having the same set of words/skill set in them. Make your CV stand out. Remove what you have now and do the unusal. Priortize information your CV, put only the things that sell you on the first page, things like achievements, skills, interets etc. Like any write up, the begining of your CV kind of sets the tone for the rest of it.

5.Prepare. This is the most important, when the interview comes, be ready. A lot of people think they are but believe me, they are not

6.Age. If you are above 26, it might be an issue. Companies seem to want really young people these days, I am talking 20-24. More companies are doing undergraduate internships in a bid to train and pick students even before they graduate. If you are above 26, I would advice you de-emphasise your age, let it be the last thing on your CV.

7. Pray. One cannot overstate the place of God. God has the final say in everything so pleas make sure He is on your side.

If its okay by you, I would like to see the $50 CV and give my opinion about it. Request for my mail through my profile.

All the best

My CV had pictures, weblinks and other stuffs that aren't text and I got the test link

I see, I guess I am wrong then

Rapture07:
so what did I reli do wrong na.bro pls did u upload ur certificate

There are a couple of things you could have done wrong.
1. You could have filled your application wrongly
2. I am guessing they use softwares to scan CVs, Cover letters and the essay. This software basically scan for a predefined set of words. I once read that the software rejects CVs with pictures or things on a CV that aren't text. Maybe u had a problem here.

Biko, try not to bother too much over it.I am sure you will get the next one.

They might just be the next Bill Gates and Paul allen, or Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak...

All u need to do is:-
1. Go in gently
2. Remove your cap(if u wear one)
3. Prostrate so flat(with your jaw touching the floor)
4. Roll on the floor for like seven times
5. Stand up and shake all of your interviewers
6. If their is a lady around them give her a cool peck
7. Told 'em "how you guys doing"
8. Thank me later

I got a success mail and was asked to bring my credentials on monday.
1. Will i have an interview that same day?
2. Wat next...i really want to know wat the rest stages are. Pple keep sayin PI AC. What re those?

No you won't have an interview that day. All you will do is submit the documents to the HR, it won't take you more than 10mins.

The next stages are, Assesment Centre(AC) and Partner Interview(PI). The AC is basically to test you in different aspects such as presentation, group work(interpersonal stuff), aptitude test and an interview. Should you be succesful here, you will then go on to the Partner Interview (PI) with one of the partners in your dept of choice. Read thru the thread for more info

This is serious. I just have this to say to you, forget everything you know about job hunting and start thinking outside the box, way outside the box. Its not really about the quantity of applications you have sent out, its in the QUALITY.
I hope you get something soon.

Cheers

You can walk to KPMG from the roundabout, just ask for directions. If you are up to it, you can charter a keke straight to Bishop Aboyade cole. All the best

@OP, Public Health persons are probably already on ground. I am sure they are the ones who identified the source of the disease. As for identifying the pathogen, I am not sure we have BSL-4 labs here in Nigeria. Samples would have to be flown out. One can't rule out the possibility of the supernatural tho.

Not sure about Architecture o, almost anybody with a working knowledge of Autocad can design buildings. The design of building used to be exclusive to architects but these days you have engineers, building techicians etc designing buildings. Think I read an artcile last year about how Architecture is gradually loosing its relevance due to various computer softwares. My Opinion o

ALKARULEZZ:
5. Architecture

Architecture is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings and other physical structures. Now the question is, does it pay well studying architecture in this country of ours? To start with, unlike most courses where you must slog yourself in study halls and libraries, reading and writing all the time, a course in Architecture gives you the liberty to use the right side of your brain, the creative part. You get a lot of opportunities to showcase your creativity and ingenuity while designing structures. A degree in architecture places you in a good position for self-employment. Even from school, Architecture students make money drawing plans for people. For you to make it as an architect, you do not necessarily need a paid jo because if I may say, Architecture isn’t a job but a lifestyle!

abeg ehen... i tried calling the HR number that was there. The WAEC certificate i have with me is the internet printed out copy. I havent gone back to my secondary school to collect the original because it is pretty far. Will they accept the printed out copy with me for the time being?

I think you should keep trying o. KPMG has some strict company policy about original certificates. A friend once had the problem, she was informed she would be allowed to write the test but won't be allowed to do documentation without the originals. Which is kinda back to square one depending on whether or not they have an urgent need to fill. Just keep calling them till you get through. You could also try sending a mail. Otherwise you reschedule your test.
Why not try the local waec office around, someone there might be able to help

Hello everyone. I just got a mail this evening inviting me for an aptitude test at d kpmg tower on April 22nd next week.
1. Please i need past questions my email is luvnina4life@yahoo.com
2. Please can sm1 tell me wat oda stages to expect afta dis
3. Am afraid i made the wrong choice by applyin to tax instead of audit,as rumour has it dat tax has limited slots
Is it truly a wrong choice? Is there a way i can change it...tax to audit?

Personally, I don't think you need past questions. Just study GMAT questions and you will be good to go
There are about 3-4 stages after this depending on the dept. Read through the thread for more details.
And No, I don't think there are any wrong choices. They recruit as the need arises

olaniyanibukun:
I also got this message. What i'm even scared of is that I read physics. Do I have probability of getting employed of I pass the test?

1. I would advise you read through the thread
2. What you studied doesn't affect your chances of getting employed. What matters is that you scale through the recruitment process.
3. Should you get an offer, you will be trained

I would advise you prepare for this first test and essay. You could study GMAT questions, but KPMG questions, as far as I know, are not core GMAT styled questions.

Should you pass the test, you will then proceed to write an essay. You will most likely be given two options to pick from. I would advise you use example(s) to corroborate any arguements you make in writing the essay

Wish you all the best.

OP, Please reconsider the topic of this post, I don't think the word 'deadly' is apporpriate here. Why not use 'costly'. That been said, nice write up
