A company you want to apply to has asked you to send in a CV and you're thinking, "wait..what?" Don't worry! Curriculum Vitae (CV) means "courses of life" in Latin, and that is just what it is. A CV is a concise document which summarizes your past professional skills and experiences. The purpose of this document is to demonstrate that you have the necessary skills (and some complementary ones) to do the job for which you are applying. Follow these steps to create a great CV--and go get 'em tiger!





Part 1 of 3: Brainstorming for Your CV





Know what information a CV generally contains. Most CVs include your personal information, your education and qualifications, your work experience, your interests and achievements, your skills, and references. However, there is no set format for a CV, what you include is up to you.



Consider the job you are applying for. Research the company. A good CV is tailored to the specific job and company you are applying for. What does the company do? What is their mission statement? What do you think they are looking for in an employee? What skills does the specific job you are applying for require? These are all things to keep in mind when writing your CV.



Check the company’s website for extra information about the CV. See if there is any specific information they want you to list in your CV. There might be specific directions listed on the application page. Always double check this.



Make a list of jobs you have held. These can be both jobs you hold currently and jobs you have held in the past. Include the dates that you began and ended your term at each particular job.[2]



Brainstorm your hobbies and interests. Unique interests or hobbies will make you stand out. Be aware of the conclusions that might be drawn from your hobbies. Try to list hobbies that portray you as a team-oriented individual rather than as a solitary, passive person. Companies want someone who works well with others and can take charge if need be.

Hobbies and interests that paint a positive image: Being the captain of your soccer (or football) team, organizing a charity event for an orphanage, secretary of your school’s student-run government.

Hobbies that imply a passive, solitary personality: watching TV, doing puzzles, reading. If you are going to put any of these things, give a reason why. For instance, if you are applying for a job at a publishing house, put something like: I enjoy reading the great American writers such as Twain and Hemingway because I think their writing gives a unique perspective into American culture at the time they were writing.



Make a list of your relevant skills. These skills often include computing skills (are you a wiz at Wordpress? Excel? inDesign? etc.), languages you speak, or specific things the company is looking for, such as targeted skills.

Example of targeted skills: If you are applying to be a writer for a newspaper, list that you are fluent in AP style. If you are applying for a coding job, mention that you have worked with Java script.



Part 2 of 3: Writing Your CV



Create the format for your CV. Are you going to break each section up with a line? Are you going to put each section in its own box? Are you going to list all of your information? Play around with different formats to see which looks most professional. Aim for no more than the front and back of a standard sheet of paper.



List your name, address, telephone number, and email at the top of the page. It is important to make your name a size larger than the rest of the text as it is important for your reviewer to know who he or she is reading about. It is up to you as to how you format this information.[3]

Standard format would be to have your name in the center of the page. Your home address should be listed in a block format on the left side of the paper. Put your telephone number and email below your home address. If you have another address (such as your address while you are at school) list this address on the right hand side of the paper.



Write a personal profile. This is an optional part of the CV that is good for giving your reviewer a more in-depth look at you as a person. This is where you sell your skills, experiences, and personal qualities. It should be original and well-written. Use positive words such as “adaptable”, “confident”, and “determined”.[4]

Example of a personal statement for a CV for a publishing company: An enthusiastic recent graduate looking for an entry-level editorial position that will utilize organizational and communication skills developed as a summer intern at City Lights.



Create a section for your education and qualifications. This section can be at the beginning of your CV or you can choose to list it after other sections. The order of sections is up to you. List your education in reverse chronological order. Begin with university if you attended or are attending it and work your way backwards. List the name of your university, the dates you went there, your major and minor, and your grade point average or A levels.[5]

Example: Santa Clara University, English and History 2009-2013 Subjects include: Medieval Literature, Victorian Literature, Criticism of Poetry, and History of Great Britain. Obtained a 75% on my 2nd year exams. (If in the US- Maintained a 3.7 GPA.)



Create a section for your work experience. This is the section in which you should list all of your relevant work experience. List the name of the company, the location of the company, the years you worked there, and what you did. Start with your most recent job and work backwards. If you have a long list of work experience, only put the experiences relevant to the job you are applying for.[6]

Example: Diablo Magazine, Walnut Creek, CA, March 2012-January 2013. Fact-checked information, wrote articles for Diablo’s blog, assisted in researching of material for articles.



Create a section for your skills and achievements. This section is where you list the things you accomplished at your previous jobs, and the skills you have developed through your experiences. This is also the section where you list any of your published work, lectures you've given, classes you've taught, etc.

Example achievements: Successfully took a national bestseller from manuscript to publication; Received certification in copy-editing from UC Berkeley



Create a section for your interests. You should list any relevant interests that paint you in the most positive light. Choose several interests from the list you created while brainstorming for your CV (in Part One).



Create a section for other information. If there is a noticeable gap in your CV or there is some other information you would like to share, put it in this section. This sort of information can include leaving work to take care of children, join the Peace Corps, etc.[7]

Example: I took two years off from my intended career path in publishing to teach english in Brazil through the TEFL program. Teaching English as a second language has helped me to better understand the subtle nuances of the language.



Create a section for references. These are people you have worked with in the past such as professors, previous employers, etc. that have seen your work and can credibly support praises that they give you. The company you are applying to may contact these references to find out more about your previous work. You should talk with the person you would like to list a reference before actually listing them--it is best to double check that they still have the same number, are ok with giving you a reference, or that they remember who you are. Write down their full names and contact information (including their phone numbers and emails).



Part 3 of 3: Finalizing Your CV



Check your spelling and grammar. Poor spelling is the quickest way to get rejected. If your CV is sloppy or riddled with errors, potential employers will be unimpressed. Double (and triple) check that you have spelled the name of the company correctly, as well as any companies you have worked for in the past.[8]



Proofread for any sentences that could be written more concisely. CVs that are concise and well-written tend to do better than long-winded CVs that have repetitive information. Make sure you don’t repeat yourself--it’s better to list many of your traits than the same few traits over and over again.



Read your CV as if you were the company you are applying to. What do you think about the layout and the information written there? Do you come across as a professional?



Get someone else to read your CV. What do they think could be added or taken out? Would they hire you if they were a company?



Check the company’s application page. Look to see if there are any other materials they would like you to send in along with your CV. Companies may ask for a cover letter or samples of your work (such as articles you may have written).

Lols. The Tecno Crew

Former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, (ASUU) Prof. Festus Iyayi was on Saturday interred at his Ugbegun country in Esan Central Local Government Area of Edo State.He was lowered into the grave at about 10:40am after a brief funeral service at his residence.



ASUU leaders from different branches across the country were present.

The service was solemn.

Catholic Catechist, Peter Omijie, who led the service urged the family to hope in God to provide for their needs.

Omijie told the gathering not to cry because there is hope of seeing him again.

He said the death of the physical body was not the end of life but the beginning of a new life and admonished the people to ponder over their spiritual destiny and where they will spend their eternity.

A former President of ASUU and Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega and other ASUU leaders witnessed the interment.

Prof. Jega described Iyayi as someone who has tremendous integrity and passion for progress and development of our country as one united country.He said, “I worked very closely with Festus Iyayi. He was like a brother to me. He is one of the few Nigerians that I have known who has tremendous integrity and passion for progress and development of our country as one united country.





“He made tremendous sacrifices for the development of this country and reforms that can help ordinary Nigerians. It is a very sad loss to us especially people who have know him for a long time. It is a sad loss for this country. This country has lost a gem. One of the best and patriotic Nigerian,” Jega said.

President of ASUU, Nasir Isa-Fagge at a lecture organised for late Iyayi said it was time ASUU members move out to rescue country by ensuring quality education for the average Nigerian.

Fagge said the National Executive Committee of ASUU would decide how they would immortalise late Iyayi.

He said they would continue the struggle to salvage Nigeria universities to keep the dreams of late Iyayi alive.



Other dignitaries at the occasion were Governor Adams Oshiomhole, Senator Abubakar Bagudu who represented the Senate, Professor Abhulimen Anao, former Vice Chancellor, UNIBEN, Chief Medical Director, UBTH, Prof. Michael Ibadin, ASUU President, Dr. Nasir Fagge, Dr. Dipo Fashina, former ASUU President, Ordia Ofeimu, Dr. Ogaga Ifowodo, former Attorney-General of Eo State, Dr. Osagie Obayuwana and members of UNIBEN academic community.

This is a post by Sir Ogbomon Kazan Emmanuel on SUG official facebook group. In his own words: -

It is for sure that there are various news and directions making around as regards ASUU strike and the resumption advertised by the UNIVERSITY management.
The truth is that there was really an advertorial as regards the resumption on some TV stations stating by FG directives that lecturers should return to campus.

Also in circulation that looked only untrue was the proposed and amended academic calender that was being circulated by many social network. I really wonder where it originated from and as it is it carried proposed and not the real calender. The spelling of this said calender was wrong which also describe the level of un truthfulness in it as it read PROPOSED ADMENDMENT.
Finally in the Light of these recent development also featured the ASUU UNIBEN CHAPTER president that they are not concerned about the ULTIMATUM and resumption date stated and that as far as HE and other ASUU members are concerned, ASUU is still on strike as directed by the NATIONAL BODY and not until otherwise, no lecturer is going to class to teach.
We observed on our own the increment in turn out of lecturers in school today, mixed feeling was in the air as some students claimed some lecturers signed the attendance while others did not. To the best of my knowledge, NO LECTURE HELD ACROSS FACULTIES TODAY as many of the lectures were seen hanging around their offices premises....
Stay tuned as we bring Ɣøû more updates in our subsequent bulletin..

How to Decide on a Career Field !!!
http://www.unibenblog.com/2013/12/how-to-decide-on-career-field-uniben.html

The title did indeed caught you, and now

you expect to see laid out principles on

how to be a good man, but I am sorry to

disappoint you. I don't know know how you

can be a good man.

ASIDE: Hope you ain't going to whip me? However, I can tell you how you can be a good person as a man. Your personality

brings light to your manhood. Don't always

see yourself as a man, see yourself as an

individual: a person. To be a good person

out there just soak in the following into your system: -


WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE YOU EAT: When your hands are dirty, you will

take in the dirt while eating, and so you

may get sick. In life, let your ways be

clean. Every evil actions will return to you.

Little bad things make a big bad person. Do good things always, and be a jolly good fellow.


ALWAYS WASH YOUR MOUTH CLEAN:

A smelling mouth is repulsive, and I don't

even need to tell you that. In life, learn to

speak the right words. Don't be rude and

insulting in your words. Speak calm and

healing words. Good guys talk the good way. Bad guys talk badly. -


ALWAYS TAKE YOUR BATH: You don't want to go about smelling like poo. In life,

wash off yourself the wrong thoughts,

habits and attitudes you've acquired over

the time. These things smell badly. They

make you bad. Sex thoughts will make you chase anything in skirt. Wash it off. Wasteful spending will make you poor as a

street mouse. Wash it off. Take your bath

always.


DON'T KEEP YOUR DISHES DIRTY:

Ever entered someone's kitchen and you

couldn't breathe? Some persons' hearts are

worse. Keeping your dishes dirty is being

unforgiving, and even keeping malice.

That's truly dirty. It costs you nothing to let go. Ever want to go for revenge? Dig two graves! Good people forgive people, and

they do so for real.


IRON YOUR CLOTHES:

Some guys' trousers are like the female skirt. They

can't even touch it with a pressing iron.

Your clothes represent your personality.

Develop your person and be the best of

yourself. Just don't remain raw, become a product. Add value to your personality, and bring out your true identity. Bad guys are

always looking like skirts.


LET YOUR SHOES SHINE: Ever saw a

guy with an expensive, but dirty and dusty

shoe? I always feel like giving them a

punch, but I am not a boxer. Shine! Glow!

You can do this by being happy always.

Be a happy fellow! An handsome face with a frown is the ugliest of all faces. If possible, stamp a permanent smile on your

face. Stay on the positive train, and be a

good happy man.


PAY YOUR BILLS: You don't want the

cabman dragging the tie on your neck. You

have to get a job. If you are not an

employee, be an employer. Just get

something legal doing that will fetch you

money. You don't buy life with money, but you can't live life well without it, at least a token of it. Work!


NEVER BURN THE HOUSE DOWN: Ever

saw a burnt house? It's ridiculous that a

house worth millions ruined all because of

a silly mistake of letting fire become the

landlord. The fire that can burn you into a

mess is uncontrolled anger. Common, cool your temper with ice blocks. Learn to control your anger. Anger makes a fool out

of a man. Don't burn yourself and your

relationship with others down. Just be a

calm guy. Be good!


SWEEP THE FLOOR: You don't want to

walk into your own house, and a banana

peel will fall you down. Always learn to

sweep the floor of your house. Keep pride

off your heart. You don't want to be

slipping and falling all the time. Pride will always embarrass you and put on you a garment of a bad defeated guy. Stay

humble. For every dollar you make, a kid

somewhere is making a million. Cool down,

bro!


PRAY BEFORE YOU SLEEP AND
WHEN YOU WAKE UP:

Mum will never

stop telling me that. Guess your mum

does/did same too. To be a good person, a

relationship with God is inevitable. Without

God, you are unarguably the baddest man alive. God makes all in the difference. Stick to Him. He is your papa! I think I should stop here before I begin to bore you with the long sermons. Hope you

learnt a thing or two?



NB: Now, many wonder why I didn't title it

HOW TO BE A GOOD PERSON. I didn't

because this is for the male folks. If you

are a woman and you read it, we will see in

the court of law. *Call my lawyer, if I have

any*. God bless you!

Hello Nairalanders, bloggers and co, whats the way out for internet subscription... I heard mtn offers a better plan also.. Pls lets help each other in this thread. Let the questions and answers begin!!!

The thoughts of a pastor wanking is funny... Just Imagine

kevoh: Another stupeed question/thread to join the number of stupeed threads posted on Nairaland daily.

If not that you just want to wallow in ignorance and open thread just for opening sake,you should know that when sex is preached against (not condemned) it is in instances of fornication (between the unmarried), adultery (between married and someone not your spouse) and other instances like rhape,pae.dophilia e.t.c

I just wonder what you people do in church these days that you don't even take time to digest God's word and read in your spare time for better understanding.

And yes everyone enjoys sex including your pastor only it has to be with your wife/husband any contrary view is frowned at.

Hey Bro, You sound like the one marking register at heaven's gate... Ignorance ke

Hello Brethrens, I noticed some stuffs about pastors especially when dey preach about sex, the preaching is always kind of condemning sex totally. So I thought, he has abt 5 kids na, hw he take born them plenty. Nairalanders do yu think pastors enjoy sex.
