So after graduating from the university about a year ago i have'nt got a job. I know most of you will say (just one year and you are complaining.) Well it does'nt matter.

All that matters is that one is without a job and it is extremely annoying and life is boring.
You see adverts everywhere of job openings and you wonder if there are just for show or if people are really getting these jobs.
Once or twice you see a testimony on nairaland that someone just got a job and you begin to pray for your own, but these days people hardly even give testimony if they got the job or not.
You wait and wait for a miracle because now your degree does not matter again. If you don't have somebody somewhere, 'na only miracle you go hope on'.

After going through school, burning mid night candles, going for lectures, doing stupid assignments that lecturers never read and struggling to see that your name is on flimsy attendance cheat for ten marks, what do you get?
Answer - A long stay in your fathers house, waiting for when somebody will visit and dash you money. Because your parents do not have your time again.
Most times, you might even here comments like" abeg do go marry" or better still "you no get boyfriend?".
Sometimes you begin to wonder what went wrong but in the end, what can one do but hope for a miracle.

Life is hard o. Especially if you are unemployed and a girl in naija.

Are they married now?

I did not enjoy my stay at the company due to hectic and stressful work environment, I resigned May 2022, although the pay is high but debit will reduce the pay at the end of the month.

There is no room for growth and no job security. A typical day at work is filled with tension because you are afraid to make mistake knowing fully well that you will pay for any mistake and some mistakes lead to dismissal even when they know that it wasn't intentional. No HMO, you go for maternity leave after 1 year

The owners of the organization are lovely people but the management staff are not but later found out that the owners are actually the ones behind the demonic managers.

Hi,
Please read,

We have noticed that a lot of people make these mistakes in their CVs, just to let you know that they are differences between the certificate you obtain via a professional examination and the certificate you obtain via training.

When mentioning professional certifications in your CVs, employers are expected to see those certifications you obtain via writing a professional examination and not the certificate you obtain via attending 1, 2, or 3 months of training.
Such professional certifications can be; CIPM, ACA, ACCA, COREN, PMP, etc.
Those certifications you obtain by attending a 1, 2, or 3 months training can be listed under Training & Certification(s) in your CV, and not under Professional Certification(s).

Most of the certifications you obtain from your 1, 2, or 3 months of training are not classified as professional certifications, they are just certificate to prove that you participated in the training and that you have gained some skills.

We have also seen in several CVs where some candidates listed some of these certifications they obtain from training as professional certifications. Please note the difference.

Sell Yourself Better in 2023

“I will send an updated CV soon.” Have you ever said this to someone and then it took several days? Your CV markets your career since it determines whether you have a foot in the door for an opportunity, shows the best of what you've got and argues you're the right person for a job. Making a good impression has never been more important than in today's competitive job market.

When a hiring manager looks at your CV, they focus on your achievements from previous roles. Therefore, documenting your achievement in your CV should be deliberate and not only when you need to submit your CV. More importantly, you should never go about this in ways that undersell you. Intentionally documenting achievements can boost performance. I challenge you to identify something you can change at work within the next three months, which you can pursue immediately and mention in your CV.

I volunteer to support the first 10 persons to indicate interest as they embark on this journey over the next three months. Interested? Then inmail me or reply here and we will reach out to you.

Dear managers,

Stop comparing team members or employees.
Stop downplaying a team members skills because you have seen another team member doing better.
This attitude create unhealthy rivery and unhealthy competition.

Your actions as managers and team leaders should encourage growth and harmony.

Team members are to compliment each other, one person's weakness is the strength of another.

Team Members are Humans and not Products.

If your child cannot pass Grade 2, the solution is not to move them to Grade 3.

Accelerated growth is usually not the answer if your business is not profitable and does not have enough cash to keep running.

It usually makes things worse: more growth means more speed and more attention given to the problems already present in your business.

Moving your child to the next grade won't solve their struggles in school. Just as growing your small business too quickly won't solve underlying profitability and cash flow problems.

Struggling businesses often think that increasing their growth will solve all their problems. They take on more debt and costs, thinking their business will finally be profitable if they can reach the next level.

For instance, opening another store might bring the potential to increase revenue. But it will cost your business in cash, resources, and time that you don’t have in the first place to set up.

It might sound like I’m anti-growth, but that’s far from the truth.

The fact is that you must know your genuine cost drivers and carefully plan for growth.

Growth that is not carefully planned will destroy the very business it seeks to improve.

Don't let the pursuit of growth destroy your business.

THINGS TO REMOVE FROM YOUR CV IN 2023
By The Real CV Guru

1. Career Objective - When you start your CV off with a Career Objective, it shifts the focus away from what YOU can do / why they should hire you / what problem you can solve. Most career objectives are generic and only provide the reader with what YOU are seeking or looking for. "Seeking a role that will enable me to utilise my skills within a growing company". Sound familiar? Do not make the intro about what you want, but rather what makes you the best candidate in relation to the role you're applying for.

2. Personal Information - This includes your Home Address, ID Number, number of dependents, health info, date of birth, marital status, religion, etc. What else am I missing?

3. Photo. Unless a huge part of you getting the job is dependent on your looks, then leave this off. Recruiters, like everyone else, have inherent biases, and you don't want to be a position where focus is drawn on your appearance, rather than your actual skills, experience etc.

4. Additional documents. DO NOT combine any documents such as your certificates, copy of your ID to your CV. Your CV should be a file on its own. If the job application requests the docs to be sent, then attach them as seperate files.

5. Buzzwords. These are words that, as a result of being over-used, have now lost their impact. Words/phrases such as, "hard-working, "motivated", "punctual", "diligent". Imagine when Hiring Managers / recruiters have to scan through dozens of CVs, and every candidate claims to be a "hard-working and motivated individual"? It does nothing to help you stand out from other candidates.

6. Graphics such as logos, charts and tables. These might be great for a human to look at, but not for the robot (ATS) that needs to initially scan your CV when you've applied online. These kind of graphics are unreadable to the ATS (depending on which ATS it is).

7. Unnecessary fluff. Your CV does not need a cover page and it doesn't need the title, "Curriculum Vitae of...". Recruiters spend less than 6 seconds reviewing each CV. You’ve got 6 seconds to show them that it’s worth their time to continue reading. Get to the point!

8. Long paragraphs. These will make your CV hard to read. Your intro summary should be 2 - 3 sentences MAX. Your responsibilities should always be in bullet point form. And please, DO NOT copy all that text from your cover letter and include it on your CV.

9. Your life story. Your resume should not resemble a Wikipedia page, with details of every single thing you've done throughout your existence. Essentially, it should resemble the landing page of a website. Your Unique Value Proposition should be clearly articulated. It should follow a clear, readable structure. Succinct. Straight to the point.

10. E-mail address from your current employer. It really is unprofessional, and more than that, leads the recruiter / Hiring Manager to believe that you apply for jobs during company time.
