For obvious reasons graduates tend not to have a lot of work experience. That's the bad news, the good news is that employers know and understand this. What employers want to see in a graduate is future potential, ambition, a fresh mind and performance. Employers are often more interested in a graduates potential rather than their limited work experience. Successful candidates tend to be those who show motivation, enthusiasm, have transferable skills and are able to communicate effectively.

Key points to remember when writing your CV are

*. Do not underestimate how important a good CV can be towards getting you a job.
*.Hiring managers will decide within a minute of picking up your CV whether to reject it. Its vital you grab their attention immediately.
*.As a recent graduate it's best to start your CV with your education, unless you have an impressive work experience record.
*.Compensate for your lack of work experience by showing a detailed understanding of your target industry and of a prospective employers products or services.
*.Graduates submitting a CV to a potential recruiter should see it as an opportunity to show off their communication and writing skills.
*.Write a attention grabbing resume that not only lists your academic qualifications but also demonstrates your enthusiasm, understanding of the industry and motivation.

How To Write your CV

Remember a CV is there to get you a interview not a job. Write it with this in mind, if your qualifications are excellent then put these at the beginning of your resume rather than any limited work experience.

*.Write it using powerful, active and positive language, and ensure that it meets the recruiters criteria. To add a sense of vibrancy use industry keywords and verbs.
*.Look at the employers, are they a traditional company who value academic and intellectual achievements or are they in a new high tech industry that favors presentation and communication skills.
*.In your CV always include your mobile number, its easier for employers to contact you directly.
Also give your email address and make sure it is a professional sounding one, likesamuel.b@email.comand notsamsamtheman@email.com.
*.Your academic achievements
There can be a temptation to list in detail every grade for every course you have taken. Do not do this instead give a very brief summary of your education and focus only on relevant courses and grades.
*.Read the job description Analyse the job advert and find out what skills and abilities is the employer looking for. If required go as far as researching similar jobs online to find out the duties and responsibilities required. This will give you a lot of key data that you can use as a guide when writing your CV.
*.Write a new CV for each vacancy you apply to
Target and tailor the CV at the vacancy, company and industry that you are applying to.
*.Your strengths and achievements At the beginning of your CV list those abilities and competencies that are most relevant to the job you are applying to. These could be academic achievements or career skills.
*.Work experience Present these in reverse chronological order, starting with your most recent and then working backwards.
*.Other information Mention if you have a driving license, a interesting hobby or can speak a foreign language etc.
*.Show you knowledge of the industry Stand out from other applicants by going that extra mile and doing some research into the employers and also industry you are applying for. Research the company, has it been in the news recently for instance are they opening a new store or launching a new product. If so mention this in your covering letter or career statement. Mention the products of competitors,highlight any weaknesses or strengths that you can see in them.

Keep your CV simple, concise and to the point. Think carefully about what headings and sub headings to use. To keep the recruiter reading sprinkle your CV with industry keywords and highlight them.

Here are some more tips:

1.Keep your CV to a maximum of two pages.
2.If you are sending a hard copy then use good quality paper and a laser printer.
3.Use a font size of between 10 to 12 points.
4.Do not write long sentences instead use bullet points and short phrases.
5.Organisational abilities.
6.Academic achievements.
7.Any related voluntary work you have done.
8.Training courses completed.
9.Any awards for achievements.
10.Your ability to prioritise.

I am not a smartphone freak but I have used a couple of smartphones in the last five years from different manufacturers. That list includes BlackBerry, Injoo, Huawei and Infinix. Most of the phones can be termed mid-range averagely-priced smartphones ranging from N80,000 and N25,000.

Two main reasons have been responsible for changing of these phones – phone damages or dissatisfaction with the smartphone’s performance. Consequently, the 4 important points I am highlighting here are connected directly or indirectly to these reasons and based on personal experience. If you therefore consider these points when next you are buying a smartphone, you will cut down on the chances of the need to quickly replace the phone again due to any of the two reasons stated above.

1. The Internal Memory

When I got my first Android smartphone, I made the big mistake of not attaching enough importance to the size of the Internal memory. That phone has an internal memory of 1 GB with 70% of it already containing pre-installed applications which cannot be uninstalled by default. Once I connected to the internet, some of these apps notified me of available updates. I happily decided to update all but to my utter dismay, the internal memory was completely maxed out. Some updates even failed due to lack of space and I could not even install any other additional app of my own.

At the end I had to reverse the updates in order to have space to install just a few of my own apps. This problem persists even after buying a memory card because every app still requires a little space from the internal memory even when it is possible to install that app on the external memory. Sadly, I knew right then that I will not be using the phone for a long time.

I will recommend going for nothing less than 2GB internal memory with at least 75% of it free after all the pre-installed apps. Many low-end smartphones are guilty of this flaw.

2. The Screen

Well, this is another reason many visit smartphone “engineers”. Seems it is inevitable we have to all drop our phone at a point in time. The only thing to probably hope for is that when it does happen eventually, it will drop on our cushion, pillow or bed and not on the office or church marble floor.

I read somewhere that the industry and many smartphone users now prefer those screens that feel and look like glass because they have a clear surface, can be easily cleaned of smears and fingerprints and are quite resistant to scratch. Well! Be careful when that is your only attraction because the more “glassy” they look, the more easily they break.

My oldest smartphone that has survived many falls has a plastic-like screen. It recently got cracked but it was a small crack with no further messy black ink damage. I guess what I am simply trying to say is that if you are used to dropping things, go for those screens that feels less like “glass”. Their “breaking” can be messy and fatal, except if you can get a good screen protector for them.

3. Fixed or Removable Battery

Well, I have heard some experts said that fixed batteries are stronger, more durable and last longer than removable batteries. The problem is when your smartphone suffers a problem (e.g. hanging or freezing) that a simple battery pull would possibly resolved. You have to start thinking of a visit to an approved customer service technician which may or may not be close to you.

This is because if you rush the phone to some of our freelance “smartphone engineers” in a quick-fix move and they open up the phone and something goes wrong, taking it back to a manufacturer approved technician would become an issue as they may charge you some outrageous fee because you have purportedly “voided” the warranty on the phone since you gave it to an unapproved person to open.

4 Availability and Proximity to Manufacturer-approved Technicians

I do not need to give any more detail on this as I touched on it in the last section. You will lose motivation to repair some phones once you realize the risk and the effort it may take to fix even simple issues that may arise with the phones. You can imagine being asked to repair a phone for half of the price you bought it because it is no longer under warranty.

When you buy a smartphone and the manufacturer’s customer service center is hundreds of kilometer away, you will lose days, weeks and maybe months getting the manufacturer to fix any problems the phone may develop and may be forced to turn to our popular “engineers”.

So people, when next you are considering buying a smartphone, you may want to consider these 4 points and weight their pros and cons before making a choice on whether to buy or not. If you have other points based on experience, please feel free to share.

Internet in our pocket is the best thing that happen to Nigeria business online, is true that Nigerians are not yet use to online payment rather than pay on delivery but the confidence and response Nigeria consumers are getting from companies like konga, jumia and keymu i hope that in the future we will all reap from investing on mobile apps.

So you just finished registering your own domain name for the first time ever, and you got yourself a good web hosting company and already created / use some custom themes for your website. But you’re confused on what you should do next in order to get your website listed on various search engines and in the end you’ll get some nice traffic from those search engines? or even better you could make money from it?

1. Create / Write a useful content first
This step is the most important thing you should do first, because in order to get your site listed on various major search engines, you’ll need to create a useful content or two. Of course the best thing you could do is create a unique post that your site visitors think it could be useful for them.

2. Avoid placing advertisement on your website
Most people think that they can make money directly right after they just created their first web site / blog ever which is wrong. Because when you just launched a new website, you’ll need to create a good impression to your site visitors, and ads are well known to drive visitors away from your new website (especially to those who dislike ads)

3. Ask for honest opinion about your website
After finished with the above two steps, now you’ll need to ask some of your friends to visit your new web site and ask them for their honest opinion about your web site, and you’ll need to listen to their opinion carefully because they are going to be the first one who’s going to visit your web site and perhaps can also helps you to promote your web site

You can Post your website url by clicking HERE! I will review it and post some suggestions on how you can improve.

4. Submit Your Blog or Website to Google Webmaster Tools
Before doing this you must have created a sitemap and robots.txt for your site. After which you can login to google search console and submit your sitemap.

5. Make other site link to your website
Back then getting other web site to link to your website can be considered as hard task, but now you don’t need to worry about that anymore and that’s all thanks to various social bookmarking web site that can be found easily on the web, such as Stumbleupon, Del.icio.us, Reddit and[b] Digg[/b] Those social bookmarking website of course can bring an incredible amount of new visitors to your site especially if you can get your site listed on their frontpage (the worst case is your server might get overloaded because of the huge incoming visitors).

But even though your site didn’t make it to the frontpage of those social bookmarking website, you’ll still get a backlink to your site, and that’s really help your site to get listed by major search engines

That’s it … and of course if you know some other good tips to those who are just creating new website, feel free to write it in the comment area below
