The steps are very simple but there are alot to be uploaded,am true with mine

how did u go about your cover letter?

xfire:
Don't just hope so. Know so. Believe you have what it takes to secure the scholarships. Confidence is critical to success. The role of 'man-know-man' is highly exaggerated in Nigeria.

@all, I will re-post the last piece of my write-up just before the Nairaland attack later.

In the coming days as time permits, I will write on cover letter writing (based on demand) and how to maintain professional networks. I will also discuss some of the current challenges I am facing in my career and how I am working towards overcoming them. Stay tuned.

Brother please could you help me with a
copy of a cover letter sir...I'm about to
apply for a training programme with
exxnnomobil but the cover letter is needed
and I have no idea on these

Nosyke:
Over the last decade and a half as a proprietary trader I have been involved in various roles interviewing and hiring applicants. During my last four years at T3 Trading Group, I have received over 16,000 resumes and have met with hundreds people. As you can imagine, I have seen it all. The following is some advice based on my experience:

Let's begin with the application process. You see my job ad online and decide to press the button to apply, sending your resume to my inbox. I will probably spend twenty seconds or less looking at it. Realize this resume is an advertisement. It reflects all of your achievements to date. Make sure that in that twenty seconds I see the highlights. Yes, I care that you had a job in High School as a waiter at Pizza Shack... it shows me that you have a strong work ethic. However, including bullet points highlighting how you “provided excellent service to customers” and “ delivered food to customer's tables in a timely and courteous manner” is not necessary. I know what a waiter does. I was one. I get it; and having to spend my time reading a waiter's job description takes away from my time reading the important stuff.

Make sure you highlight the things that make you stand out from everyone else. The 800 you earned on your math SATs certainly is an achievement, albeit a common one in my industry. It doesn't make you unique. Sorry. Nor does your roll as a member of your school's investment club--we all were members of the investment club.

Have you traveled the world? Do you play poker on a competitive level? Did you play a Division 1 sport? Do you have a paper or a book that got published? Get me to want to read your cover letter.

Speaking of cover letters. Write one, and include it in your application... even if it's not “required.” If you have a decent resume, I am going to look for more. If you don't include a cover letter, I may just move on to the next applicant who did. ...and make sure it is tailored to the job you are applying for! A generic cover letter says one thing: “I'm too lazy or too disinterested in the job I'm applying for to put in any extra work.” If you were thinking about including a boilerplate letter, don't even bother. More often than not, you will just be ignored.

Structure the cover letter like you would a five paragraph essay. Have an introduction, a thesis, paragraphs supporting the thesis, and a conclusion. If you don't know how to construct a five paragraph essay, call your ninth grade teacher. Hopefully s/he will be able to help you.

Now it's my turn. I have to make a decision if I want to write follow up questions so I can get more of a sense of who you are before I call you into my office. If I do ask you questions, PUT SOME RESEARCH AND THOUGHT INTO YOUR ANSWERS. Answer the questions honestly and thoroughly....and don't plagiarize. If you write at a twelfth grade level, but answer my inquiries like a professional author, I will google your answer and quickly find out that your are not only lazy, but also unethical. You will not be moving forward in the selection process.

At this point you may get an invitation to come in for an interview, or you may not. If I decide that you are not a fit (and spend the extra time explaining to you why), please do not try to “teach me a lesson” and tell me your “thoughts”... it shows me that in addition to being unqualified, that you are also a jerk. Say “thank you for your time” and move on.

So now it's time for the interview. Book extra time for travel. Get here an hour early and hang out at a coffee shop until 15 minutes before your scheduled time, and then come to my office. I don't care that the subway was down/there was bad traffic/you had to floss your cat.... none of that matters. If you can't show up on time for our first meeting, there wont be a second.

Dress appropriately. Learn to how to tie a tie. Wear deodorant. Brush your teeth. Bring paper copies of your resume. And for G-d's sake, leave your backpack at home. This is a job interview, not a seventh grade sleepover party.

When you meet me, firmly shake my hand and look me in the eyes. If you're nervous, make sure you have a paper towel. A wet, limp handshake makes one hell of a horrible first impression.

Make sure you're prepared for the interview. Research the role, my company, and my background. If I tell you that there is going to be a written test....be prepared for that too. If you say you want to be a trader, but don't know where the S&P500 closed last night, I am going to doubt your passion for this career.

If I ask you a question and you don't know the answer, don't try to bs me. I can smell it from a mile away. I once had a student who came in and said he was interested in Philosophy, so I asked him who was his favorite philosopher. He answered, “Socrates.” I followed up by asking him which of Socrates' books was his favorite. He responded “all of them, I can't pick just one.” In his entire life, Socrates never wrote anything down. Interview over.

If you make it through all of my questions, now it's your turn. Ask THOUGHTFUL questions. If you can find the answer on Google, don't ask it. Make me believe that you are really interested in both me and this role. If you don't, the next applicant will.

Yes, send an email thanking me for my time. I appreciate that, and it will make me remember you and keep you fresh in my mind when I decide who makes it to the next round. If you really want to stand out, follow up with a hand written card.

I know many of you will think this is common sense, but unfortunately common sense isn't that common, so for the rest of you, I hope this helped

AEGlobal:
Who we are

Angel & Eagle Global Rescue Services limited is a registered business entity (RC 965479). We are the trusted leader in CPR and emergency cardiovascular care in Nigeria. The American Heart Association (AHA) global connector(http://webapps.heart.org/apps/EccGlobalConnector/countrySearchForm.jsp) lists all accredited centres by country. Angel and Eagle is one of only 6 accredited BLS training centres in Nigeria. For more information about the company, our services and other trainings we offer, kindly visit our website at www.aeglobalrescue.com

The Training Centre Accreditation:
We are a training centre for the American Heart Association (AHA), American Safety & Health Institute (ASHI), Medic First Aid and the National Safety Council. In addition, we are accredited by both the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) and the Medical Rehabilitation (Therapists) Board of Nigeria (MRTB). Finally, we are an affiliate of the Institute of Emergency Management of Nigeria (INEM).

Who can attend?

Basic Life Support (BLS) is essentially resuscitation with minimal or no equipment and is an invaluable skill in the management of varied clinical and non-clinical emergencies. The BLS for health providers course is open to a wide variety of healthcare professionals such as Medical Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, Medical Laboratory Scientists, Physiotherapists, Occupational therapists etc.
The course is designed to provide participants the ability to recognize several life-threatening emergencies both in clinical and non-clinical settings and apply effective Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) skills. The training will also cover the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AED) and teach participants how to relieve choking in infants, children and adults in a safe, timely and effective manner.

The need for training in Nigeria

Our research reveals that most emergencies in Nigeria which are initially managed by responders with poor Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) skills often culminate in fatalities. Additionally, the results of a recently conducted survey among seasoned clinicians across various fields indicated that even qualified medical practitioners were often unsure of what to do in a cardiac emergency.

Why Angel and Eagle?

We provide brand new course manuals and deliver to you at no additional cost.

Our training ratios strive to ensure optimal student to manikin to instructor proportions as this has been proven to increase hands-on-manikin skill/practice time. We provide 1-3 student(s) per manikin, 1-3 student(s) per Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Trainer and 3 manikin stations per instructor.

We provide same-day certification. Our certificates are globally accepted and as an added benefit, the company will, at no cost, write a reference letter on your behalf to any accreditation or credentialing agency if required.

By participating in our BLS training, Medical Doctors and other selected health professionals (Regulated by MRTB) can earn 5 Continuous Medical Education (CME) or Continuous Personal Development (CPD) points - the maximum allowed per day for any course recognized by MDCN and MRTB.


Testing and Remediation:

At the conclusion of the class training and skill practice, participants are required to demonstrate BLS skill competency with 100% accuracy without any assistance, hints or prompting. In addition, each student is required to score at least 84% on a written test.
