Many careerists believe there is one résumé template that fits everyone. It is not uncommon for job seekers to borrow a résumé from a friend or copy a template found online when creating their résumé. It is a great idea to look the résumé of a successful professional to get inspiration. However, when it comes to the résumé, there are subtleties that separate candidates even if their history is very similar. Here are some tips to help you create a résumé that is uniquely yours. There are truly at least 50 shades of résumé. Follow these tips to create yours.

Don’t Be a Copy Cat
Avoid the big mistake of copying content from a job description given by an employer and pasting it into your new résumé. A job description contains the basic requirements of your job. Are you an employee that does just the basic requirements? Probably not. So, you want your résumé to show your accomplishments - how you went beyond the expectations.
Also, don’t copy and paste a co-worker’s content. Do you want your résumé to say, “me too” or do you want your résumé to show how you separated yourself from the others in your department? Of course, you want to show your unique achievements. Sure, there may be some overlap in some achievements, but you want to write about your contribution.

One Size Fits All
Well, that may be the case when you buy a poncho. This approach does not work with a résumé. I have created a highly effective one-page résumé for a CEO of a technology company and also created a two-page résumé for a recent graduate. Your résumé should be as long as necessary to show your major, relevant accomplishments and skills. If you are a PhD with multiple publications and patents, you may have a six-page résumé. Another example is a candidate with more homogenous history - meaning they have similar history, so rather than be redundant I might create a career highlights section and feature the top seven achievements followed by a listing of employers from the most recent ten to fifteen years.

Template
Some writing companies have a résumé sample section from which candidates choose a style from a book. First, this should be a red flag that the company may be a mill and simply filling in your info into a template. What you want is a writer who designs your résumé based on your situation. It is better to choose a format that has a structure to fit the information you want to share; choose a style that is appropriate for your industry, occupation, and personality.

Stealing the Summary
The opening summary can be the most challenging part of the résumé. So, why not review some information you found online? A smart plan is to borrow the “formula” for a good summary – this does not mean that you cut and paste. Share information that describes you and that you avoid fluff.

So, you can see that there are at least fifty shades of résumé. There are various ways to present information, many style choices to exhibit your brand, and also decisions as to what information you should share. When you make those decisions, you will have a résumé in a shade that fits you!

Kozi App came primarily from the idea of people having to struggle in a particular career. I have a lot of friends who studied a different career path in school than what their current occupation entails. For example, I have a lot of friends who studied Medicine but now find themselves in IT.

I felt the number of people who found themselves in such circumstance in Nigeria were quite a lot. This is because a lot of people do not actually think about their career path before they venture into it it. And because of the way Nigerian Universities are structured, they pretty much give you what they want to give you, not actually what you want to study. Having had that experience from people, I decided to come up with a mini test that gives people the ability to find out what career paths match their personality type.

Applying for jobs is time consuming – you have to write cover letters for every job you are applying for, you have to restructure your CV etc. Why would anyone spend that much time to apply for a job and not spend time to prepare for the job interview?

People need to have an understanding of the job role they are applying for. They also need to study a little bit more about the company and gain an understanding of their corporate values, mission and vision statements. These are some of the things you’ll be asked in the interview. I began to compile some of the things that people need when preparing for interview. Then I built Kozi App around that.

All the information is sourced directly from the companies. At the moment, we have about 1000 companies and we are still adding more. We want to make it up to 6000 profiled companies. The plan is that for every company you are applying for you can go on Kozi app and read up about them, as well as see their contact details.

Koziapp is a site dedicated to preparing you for job interviews with career support features such as numerous interview questions help, practice tests, description of job roles, popular company profiles and an online resume building and evaluation system based on industry accepted formats.”

Koziapp is ushering in a well-structured career support platform with features fashioned to set job seekers on the path to successful job acquisitions; from testing to interviews.

On an average, an individual job seeker sits for jobs test 8-9 times within the period of 3 months before they can make it to the next interview stage; our effort is to significantly reduce that number by giving job seekers the right tools they need to succeed at any given interview stage.

Our objective is to prepare the best people for the best jobs, because we believe that a lot of very efficient job seekers are unable to get jobs, not because they aren’t qualified, but because they cannot pass the interview stages. We hope to address these issues by informing, preparing and exposing our users to prospective challenges they will encounter during an interview process that might lead to failure, thereby making them potential candidates for their dream job.
