LUCK? can get to free drink or free ipod in competition and stuff
but in real life NO WAY!
Strategy does it. It would also make it seem like luck to others.

I have noticed that from the start some jobseekers say "Dont hire me" in their approach to vacancies.
If you have been wondering why you are still sending your cv's when others are being hired check yourself on the following simple mistakes.

1. Use of big and impressive word which even you do not have a full meaning of E.g.

, environment that places premium on potentials and strives to ensure maximization, so as to achieve mutual benefit and a result oriented organization

2. List of embellished personal values E.g.

PERSONAL PROFILE
Initiative, Innovative, Confident, Ambitious, Analytic, Impressive, Pro-active, Teachable, Self-driven, Team player and Extreme result oriented.

3. Sending CV as an attachment when the notice clearly states that CV's should be in the body of the mail.

4. Obvious spelling mistakes. E.g

Greetings sir,
I am interested in the [b]jog [/b]vacancy in your company,

5. Sending to mulptiple recipients- e.g.

To: Jos@xyz.com;vacancy@abcltd.co.biz;cv@bankontherun.biz;funmi@bigoilcompany.com

6. Sending out generic CV.-Saved in their box and forwarded at every vacancy e.g.

Sir

I wish to submit it my application in your company,and hope to join you soon.
Note: forwarded message attached.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail beta.

7. No introduction in the email sent to employers, or an empty message E.g.

Note: forwarded message attached.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo! Music Unlimited.

8. Sending a scanned CV

attachment: myCV.jpg

9. Sending a CV with 4 or more pages _{what is that a biography?}

10. Including all forms of training whether relevant to the job or not

Proficient in computer appreciation certificate, MS word and excel application

Alot of jobseekers are unemployable. They need the money not the job.
More so, they would usually over price their skills. Being a graduate is not enough and employer are begining to understand that.

Looking in the right place also matters. I was a science student now am in biz commerce for a living. I went to where i want to be and that worked for me. Some are lucky to get a fat wallet job but like i said some.

I know people you have been employed to be droppred in ; like few months because the have a beautiful CV and a lazy brain. I've help''d to recuit some few times so i know. Am not saying you should not sort money but look more at what do you have to offer. Imagine a computer sci. grad that can't use excel? You can say you don't know! When you can donate you entire pocket money to browsing in cafe. Why not talk to the computer sch. to let you do a temp for them in exchange with some tutoring? It not all about money!

You have to be prim yourself to a position that you can tell employers- "this is how i would make you money if you need be you have my contact."

It's intresting to see how job seekers are turning to Bosses these days.
look at - the snails & cat fish farming, "we paste posters" house of harrreitta and yes seun's- nairaland ,and others.
Though we all can't be bosses but if you can give it a shot.(need fund? see NGO's like YBI www.ybinigeria.org or google them up.They seem to know what they are doing)

But if you can't better Lace up your skills. No food for lazy Man!

would such pray be answer'd ? esp'y if he like its like that
more so only God can choose who is a saint and who should be a sinner

here is some stuff i found online:

Your CV
Target your CV! Your CV is not a comprehensive listing of every single fact about yourself. It should be targeted to a particular type of work or type of employer, stressing the facts that are most relevant to the job you want. If you intend to apply for completely different types of job, you will need to develop more than one CV, each with its own emphasis. In order to successfully target your CV it is essential to know exactly what skills, experience and personal qualities the employer is looking for. If this information has not been provided on the advert or on a person specification you will need to undertake some research to ensure that your CV has the right focus.
GETTING STARTED
There are many different ways to write an effective CV, so don't feel you have to create it in one particular style. Experiment until you are happy that your CV gives the relevant details in a clear and persuasive way.
Some tips on content
• Use positive language and adopt a confident tone.
• As well as listing facts, consider adding some comments and interpretation. For example, in the section on work experience you could add a few lines at the end saying what skills you acquired from your various jobs. This could take the form of a short paragraph or, you could use short phrases - each on a separate line and introduced by an asterisk or a 'bullet point' (.).
• Think about ways that you can make your CV stand out. Avoid bland and overused statements. Instead of "as course rep for my year I developed good communication skills when liaising with academics", try, "as course representative I was required to attend regular meetings with academics to present students' views. I gained confidence in presenting ideas orally, learnt how meetings work and enjoyed participating in the many debates."
• Your most relevant experience/skills should be the most prominent, i.e. on the first page. This will encourage the employer to read on.
• The amount of space you devote to a topic indicates the weight you want the employer to give to it. Use more space if the topic is important. For example, don't take a separate line for each of your GCSEs and then take only a couple of lines for your degree.
• Take care with dates. Make sure every year is accounted for. Employers may think you are hiding something if they see too many gaps.
• You will probably need two pages to give enough information to capture an employer's attention. Don't use any more than that. Use two separate sheets of paper rather than one sheet printed on both sides. Put your name at the top of the second sheet in case the two become separated.

Some tips on layout
• Your CV should look neat and tidy with all the information easy to find. Use headings such as EDUCATION to make it easy for the employer to find the information they are looking for. Most employers will expect a CV to be laid out in a conventional way, but others (particularly those in creative areas of work) might like one that looks more unusual.
• Use CAPITALS and bold print to separate out different sections. Bold print and italics can be useful for highlighting important points. Underlining is probably best avoided as it can give the CV a rather old fashioned look. Don't go overboard with special effects: use them sparingly.
• Use the tab key (rather than the space bar) to indent information to create a neat effect. Placing the dates on the left hand side, with the rest of the information 'tabbed' in an inch or so, is often an effective way of setting the information out neatly and makes the details easy to pick out.
• Use a good quality paper and a printer which produces a clean output. White paper is usually best. Sometimes light shades of other colours can be attractive, but avoid bold or fluorescent colours.

Finally
• Compare your CV with a job description for the work you're applying for. Have you shown you have developed the skills the job needs?
• Remember that a CV should give evidence, from what you have done in the past, that you have the skills to carry out the job to which your CV is targeted.
• Give your CV a final check: - Is it neat and tidy, and pleasant to look at? - Is it clear and logical, so that the information is easy to find?
• Get a friend to look at your CV and give you a second opinion. Arrange to see a Careers Adviser who may be able to suggest improvements.
• Remember that your CV will need a covering letter, to introduce yourself and summarise the main points which you hope will attract the employer. See the leaflet on Covering Letters for further advice

@chi-abbe
Recently, married men have been on my neck and when i ask them why they want to be unfaithful to their wives they tell me it's a man's world.

Please why are married men like this?

i feel you cos i was asking the same question recently too.
But i kind of figured out that its only surpris'g to you because you not like most girls ( i mean you are not intrested).
It's one of this scenerios:

[list]
[li]They are use to double dating so they dont see a reason to stop( not because of a metal ring)[/li]

[li]They are lacking something you are or might give them. which could range from attention, to listenings ears or even encouragement. (most woman loss or change thier habit after marriage- esp'y if it was to lure the guy in)
[/li][/list]

But has long has you are not ready for the "mess" be blunt and avoid any cosy atmosphere!

It might be hard to cut them, if you have been friends for long off but not thing is impossible.

Blame the cheap holes for the poles -dangling in your face!

A smart and creative Dud who is also fun loving, willing to learn, has mischievious skills to spice the relationship.
and of course some who sees me for and respect that.
NOt a man that would cage or creep my style!

ironing
i hate to iron even handkerchief

2 but 3 if i got twins along the line

im indifferent
but for real if i got my guy demanding for it i wont cos am not getting married just to have kid.
Marriage is more than that!

working house woman
I would like to do some kind of flexi work but home all day no way!

i have learnt that things you dont know shouldnt hurt you.
Yeah i sure would be tempted to open it but if he gave me there are two thing to it.
its either he did b'cos he think i will open it.^{(trap !)}
or he trust me ,to trust him enough than snick'g up on him_{( )}
both ways i still should and would try very hard to think positive.
At worse bring it up with him. am blunt at such
When you start feel'g insecure then its time to start packing your stuff!

Like i know you now, got personal beef for stella right?
anyways.
To your question here is my answer ^question
should she become a lesbian or drop are friends because she lost her husband?
or
become a nun? and pause are life for how long sef?!

be real on this!

The problem with you guys is that you fear or condemn things you don't understand.

And what does stella have to fight the almighty aboderins? (wealth- influence etc)

Its normal to feel beef for someone you don't have control over.

if you have a problem with her , stop the chicky moves, its obvious face the fact

;d ;d ;d

Abi o!

Idea is more important.
if an idea is in a really good packaging; in terms of serious securing it, developing and proposing a goldmine. you would get out in 6 digits. and even royality
Money with no idea would by idea but not own the idea.

The truth of the matter is that you cant judge anyone.

What is Mourn'g for anyway? to show "people" you love the one lost right.(people whose view you cant control, who might not even truly care or may change thier stand @ any given time)
There are many ways to show your love for some one.
He was a good feller there many ways to keep JAY in peoples mind!
