The one at Ikot Ekpene road? No wonder I didn't recognise it. I've only seen it from driving past it. Never been inside.

Sis, time to review my CV.

Just follow the tips here. You'll be fine

Something else my tutor removed from my CV was "state of origin". I wondered then why it was so, but now I realise that except for government jobs, most recruiters are not interested in where you are from. The aim of every organisation is to get this job done and where the individual comes from isn't a major problem.

Except when stated, state of origin is no longer important in your CV, do away with it.

I didn't realise I was outdated in my CV writing until someone, a friend asked me to help him build his CV.

That was last week.

Over time, I have had to work on CVs a lot and realised that most times, we don't get the job, not because we aren't competent enough for the position but our CV "fall our hand" and before you say "jack", the recruiter dumps it for some other ones.

I was under tutelage for some weeks under an amazing very intelligent nairalander. She helped repackage my CV some years ago and ever since, my CV has been opening the doors for me.

Basically, the above were what she omitted and some others too.

I hope this helps someone.

1. References Upon Request :

“References Upon Request,” at the bottom of a resume is completely unnecessary! I get that you want to be as upfront and honest with your prospective employer, but that is an understood statement and it is not necessary to write on the bottom.

2. Hobbies or Community Activities:

Please, for the love of all people, quit putting things on your resume that could discredit you before you get the chance to interview. If you like to fish, don’t put it on your resume! You have no way of knowing if the hiring authority you are sending this to is the state PETA president. Putting hobbies or community activities on your resume could get you thrown to the “No” pile, before you get your foot in the door. Stick with business and leave any personal information!

3. The dreaded “Summary” or “Objective”:

It’s like Nancy Reagan said…JUST SAY NO! I understand you want to give a “summary” or “objective” of what you’re looking for, but unless it is imperative or extremely well written, it is unlikely an overwhelmed HR person or an executive recruiter, like myself will actually read it.

4. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

All resume headings should be in capital letters and be underlined. When listing your work history it should say “Professional Experience,” not recent experience or work history. This creates a more tactful way of listing your months and years you were employed for each company.

5. Be wise with Education:

Unless you have a bachelor’s degree or higher, move your education to the bottom. If you have NO education, DO NOT put education or some education. Leave the entire section out. If you have certifications put that as your header, not education, and keep it on the bottom of the resume, AFTER your professional experience.

6. Your College:

Employers don’t want to know the college, before the degree. Quit putting the college on top! The most common mistake I see on a resume is bolding the College, instead of the degree. For example if you have an MBA – bold that, on a separate line (preferably beneath the bolded degree) list your college.

7. Education from 1978?:

Why on earth are you going to put the degree you obtained 20 years ago before the degree you obtained 2 years ago. I don’t want to know that you graduated in 1978 with an Associates degree if you have graduated with another degree in 2004. Always put your most recent degree on top. Employers want to see that you have continued education, if applicable. If you have an MBA and graduated in 2004 it should like this:

Masters in Business Administration, 2004
Bachelor in Business, 2000
8. The 1 Page Resume Restriction:

Oh dear…why? Unless you have worked at only one place throughout your career, the old adage that your resume should fit on one page is NOT accurate. And please for the love of all things, anything under 11 font is ridiculous! I don’t want to have to use a magnifying glass to read what you have written. Think easy to scan, quick to obtain the information, and easy enough to read to GET YOU AN INTERVIEW.

9. Your Name and Address:

Your name should be in a larger font than the address, email address, and contact phone. It should stand out and grab the attention of the hiring authority.

10. Spelling or Grammatical Errors:

The goal of sending the resume to a hiring authority is to get an interview. Make sure it is easy to read, there are no spelling errors, or grammatical errors. This is the door that needs to be open to get the job of your dream. Make sure it is the best representation of what you can bring to a new company!

Idowuogbo:
Carrot.

Lol. The guy has finally left. He can't defend his dick but he has been seeking the site admin's attention since. Mcheeeew

Idowuogbo:

What is it?

oreos:
He might be a bisexual whose got a huge crush on oga Seun or he could be unconsciously playing the bad boy just to attract Ishilove

Bisexual? He sounds gay. Just negodu the name "softapples" how can a straight man choose that kind of user name?

softapples:
ITS BCAUS THEY WERE ALL PAINED

Lol. Every single one of them? Your very simple answer tells so much about your state of mind.

Goodevening.

LaraiBoluwaji:
Lol. Not here, not now

Is afraid catching you?

softapples:
yes the way ISHILOVE hav been indirectly attacking s_eun is wrong, she said she resign, why then is she yanning shananigans just to gain support from monikers? do u know she even promise to PM monikers just to tell them what happened? If nt lies then what does she have to tell them?

The regular question on nairaland then was "how does this reduce the price of garri in the market" to make it personal, how does this your "folow follow" give you an edge over other applicants? What's in it for you? And you haven't answered my question, why is it that almost every body who ever was close to the admin doesn't have a good tale to tell about him?

KingTom:
Gboliwe abeg, don't dare her. 10 year bans no be beans

Feareth thou not o ye of less than mustard faith.

Who sang that song "nothing dey pai, nothing dey happen?

softapples:
I WILL KEEP DEFENDING S_EUN, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME AND ANYDAY, u people and ishilove shud stop painting a bad picture of him. "CC S_EUN

I joined this site in 2010 from then till now, do you have an idea how many moderators have left the voluntary job of moderating? As much as I have observed, 99.1% give the same reason "irreconcilable differences" (ikhon mbakara)

Do you have an idea how many mere users have left this site because of the admin's behavior? Why are you singling out Mada Ishi?

softapples:
dear ure wrong, kindly read her post for d past 3weeks and u will undastand wat im saying.

I don't know how to describe your behaviour. Just read again what you just posted.

3 whole weeks! As in 21 whole days, I mean for a cumulative 504hours you've wasted your existence stalking someone online. Following her around just to read her posts so you can criticise? If this isn't witchcraft, I wonder what is.

LaraiBoluwaji:
Yep. I know a few things

I"dobu" dare you!

Infact, I triple dare you. Spilllllllllll it let the heavens crash!

LaraiBoluwaji:
I think you know what I mean

Anyway it isn't the firat time i am hearing it. Madder than a mad hatter, the grapevine says

Stop thinking. I don't know anything at all.

Do you have empirical evidence of this eccentric behavior?

ebamma:
If there is one thing I have realised,


It's that, being successful, does not always mean being smart.

Say it again!

chisco82:
But Seun himself said it that she resign because she was querried on why she left her duty and went to the market.

Link please!

LaraiBoluwaji:
I will take that as a yes

See me see wahala ooo

Yes to what kwa?

Me, I am an English student and seeing the word "eccentric" for the first time. It just has a fine ring to it.

Some people should just not have kids. This is a full grown father and mother who could not take care of their kids or protect the girl child.

Cursed is that man and his wife. And the boys who did this? God alone will judge you!

sosid111:
Thank u all 4 ur advice, Am going there this money to collect my 10k from them am no longer interested in opening the account.

If you get the money back, congrats! Then, tell us what you did or said that made them give it back

blank:
Leave that yeye old school bank and bank with a funky bank like diamond or fcmb.

This is just an indicator. Imagine how long it will take for them to rectify any issue you have.

Don't even go there with diamond it took Diamond bank about 2 weeks, series of text messages, a threat to report to their management and a physical showdown at the bank to give me a savings account.

Why should he receive any salary? Has he done any work? Do people just get paid salary even when they didn't do anything? This man has been watching his brothers get killed in the last 100days and he hasn't said a word publicly for or against it. More like it's a part of the APC plan that he signed.

And when a compilation of "mere" moderators is made, people including me will be "wowed" at the rate of turnover.

There's something wrong with the management if the "staff" will always abscond or resign.

LaraiBoluwaji:
I hear the owner is eccentric . Is this what you mean?

justwise:
Mukina2 is a nairaland veteran but not a suppermod anymore

Had to peek at your profile again. Things are surely getting better since moderators on this forum are now free to give this kind of information to mere mortals like us.

The broom signifies the house-cleaning agenda the party intends to embark upon after years of mismanagement and corruption.

They should continue "intending to embark upon" till eternity.

Useless party full of liars and evil men
