@omolorlah and @mayoor15
I just wanted to let you know I saw your comments since but did not answer because I wanted to see if I could get info.

Unfortunately, I did not. The information I have was what I updated on my blog. If I have more, would let you know.

Might be helpful.

gohzieh:

Basically LinkedIn.

samuelezekiel:
Although it's Okay but, Mr man where is your date of birth, symtate of origin and other personal data?

Are you serious?

HungerBAD:
Petty Thief.

So his dream is to steal a car and make it big?small minded criminal.

A friend of mine has 7 cars doing this Uber thing, and he has some kind of track or something on them, as he can tell where all his cars are anytime.

The owner of this car should have done the same thing.

Car tracker right?.
If it is, I dont think it guarantees safety because it can be compromised too.

But better sha.

jasperism:
Ovoko, the cv even carry award. Bye sir

Because it carries award does not mean you must have one in yours.
Its just a design.

These guys SEO is dope.
He is all over Google.

davidkingrichie:
I am impressed. I get a lot of rubbish looking CVs week in week out. Good job!

You think this format would be helpful?.

Something is wrong.
Is your web address ..com or its a.com web?.
Alternatively, give few weeks. Like 2 weeks and try again.

In the meantime, work on:
1. Privacy policy.
2. Arranging the navigation of your website.
3. Improved content.
4. About us.

These are the key things important to Google adsense.

Check my website for things you could correct.

doyouknowjohnny:
just to be clear because I'm eager to learn..under the subtitle RESPONSIBILITY you used past tense like ASSISTED despite the fact that you stated under EXPERIENCE as currently working in ABC from 2014 to present.
please would love to know why..Thanks

Very smart observation.
My bad. It shouldn't be 2014 to present.
Corrected.

diiadem:
OK

Done!.

Selfhood:
Yes useful. Nailed it again.

Thanks.

Hope you find it useful.

Jobs have evolved, HR has evolved and the world generally is evolving. Change is something that is constant and we must all endeavor to ensure that we are up-to-date with trends in other for us to thrive in our job search or career aspirations.

CV/ Resume contents have moved from story telling to ''contents''. By ''contents'' I meant substance.
Figures and results of who you are, what you have achieved and what you are able to do.
Meetings and general office discussions are now dependent on data and figures rather than words.

Having this perspective would help you generally so when next you are applying for a customer service role, let it look like something below:

If you have this sort of resume and I can assure you that you would stand out. However, do not copy everything as it is. This is just an insight for you and ensure it is streamlined to suit your purposes.

NOTE: The courses you would list should be the ones that are expressly relevant with the job applying for.

I was in UniLag yesterday and I saw students at night setting up shop to sell noodles, bread and fried egg, salad etc.

All these business are so simple, clear and doable.
1, 2, 4, 5, 7 are what a lot of people and family men do to survive.

Number 1 and 2 is so in demand now and since there is internet boom in Africa, you can utilize the opportunity.

Here are also a list of simple businesses you can do generally for anyone:
http://www.hrtechnique.com/2016/06/list-of-simple-businesses-you-can-do-if.html

Here is mine (I am inspired by yours):

**Wake up 7am to check Nairaland.. Mentions etc. Most times I noticed Autojosh and AutoReportNG posts as well as one from Literature on FP with Mynd44 running through Nairaland to make sure its updated (He is the champion behind the scenes). If I am lucky sometimes, I make FP.
**Brush my teeth and drink lots of water.
**I check Adesense to see the income overnight and then check analytics to see real-time visits. Sometimes I study my bounce rate too.
**Around 8am I look for what to wear and hit the bathroom to shower.
_____________________________________________

**8:15 off to work some distance from home.
**In the bus I study my lecture notes sometimes just check Nairaland again.
**At work around 10am, I check my teams report and just ensure everything is in order.
**10:15 work starts. If I have a meeting, I write down my notes and points (Without this you hardly have what to say at meetings).
**2pm I am on break and its youtube throughout (I am currently in love with chainsmokers and cold play).
**During the break, I check Nairaland too and hope for inspiration on how to revamp my blog.
**3pm work continues.
_____________________________________________

**Closing time on my way home or to school, I respond to whatsapp chats and read Nairaland or emails generally.
**At home depending on when I get home, I do the following:
a. Shower.
b. Eat.
c. Read Snapchats eventhough I have never posted there.
d. Instagram eventhough I do not post there as such.
e. Update my blog then go to bed to wake up 3am to read lecture notes a little.

Weird thread and I am wondering why I had to write all this. SMH

Perfect answer from @ dhantey324
Good luck.

Selfhood:
This is awesome. Someone can even replicate this with ones CV.
This would help tons of people.

Thanks.

oaroloye:
SHALOM!



FAIL!

The ONLY Way to LOVE GOD is to FIRST CHOOSE LIFE.

. DEUTERONOMY 30:19-20.

This is not "THE BEST WAY," or, "THE MOST CONVENIENT WAY," the "LEAST PAINFUL WAY," nor "THE TRADITIONAL WAY," nor anything like that.

This is THE ONLY WAY THERE IS OR CAN BE, period.

. JOHN 12:44-50.

ALL OTHER ANSWERS ARE TOTAL BULLSHIT FROM PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LOVE GOD.

That is your opinion.
Be blessed.

Because he is:
1. Merciful.
2. Answers prayers.
3. Long suffering.
