What is the difference between curriculum vitae (CV) and a resume?
Answer: The primary differences between a resume and curriculum vitae (CV) are the length, what is included and what each is used for. A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. While a resume is brief and concise - no more than a page or two, Curriculum Vitae is a longer (at least two page) and more detailed synopsis.

A Curriculum Vitae includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details. In Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, employers may expect to receive curriculum vitae.

In the United States, a curriculum vita is used primarily when applying for academic, education, scientific or research positions. It is also applicable when applying for fellowships or grants.

One of the way to make your cv get approval is to make it different.
Of more that 200 applicants the recruiter has a very limited time and
before you can be considered, your CV has to be unique.
Find a way to do this and you will see that it works

Have you ever been called for an interview before?
A lot of people wonder if their applications ever get to the recruiters because they have never been called up for any interview.
CV, if well writing can be a very good tool in your ways of searching for jobs. Your CV will be the one to speak for you when you are not there. This means that if your CV is well written, you stand a chance of getting called for an interview.

Note that recruiters have just about 8seconds for your CV unless you make them spend more by writing an appealing one. Otherwise your CV is likely to end up in the trash bin.
Statistics show that more than 70 percent of Cvs are poorly written.

A job consultant in Canada said, “The best applicants are not always employed, but that applicants that sell himself most” You may be the best for the job but you hardly have a second chance if you have a poor CV.

Remember that there are always more than 200 applicants for each advertised post. That makes it essential for you to be outstanding in your CV.

For fresh graduate, it is relatively difficult for them because of the empty years of experience that associate with their CV.

HOWEVER, YOU CAN MAKE YOUR CV TO BE THE BEST POSIBLE BY SENDING A BLANK MAIL TO expertscv@gmail.com. Using “Tips” as the subject. You will be able to get EXPERT EDGE on CVs and a step by step on how to prepare a talking CV.

Please what do you think I can do to curb this?
Please Tips from ladies

The following excerpts may be the keys you need in order to land your dream job.
NB: some notes here are not applicable to Nigerian job seekers.
Cheers as you read.

No matter how many firms I apply to, I constantly get rejections despite being on track to get a good degree and from a good university. What am I doing wrong?

Cover letters
Graduate recruiters will pass over your application unless you tell them why they should employ you; this is best done in the cover letter. Bullet points make good reading as they show clarity of thought, break down the job description by bullet points and match each one with your suitability. Explain why you have decided to apply for this particular job, why you will be good at it and the reason you want to work for them and not their competitors.





Vague job descriptions - my qualifications aren't up to it, should I apply anyway?

Cover letters
Anything expressed as a minimum in a job description means just that, so if a minimum grade or qualification is required it means that recruiters are unlikely to consider candidates that don't have exactly what's specified. However, an overlap of skills, experience, qualifications and attributes is normal. This means that if you have a lower grade of qualification than the one advertised but some related experience it may still be worth applying. In all cases list what your relevant attributes are and they match the minimum requirements high up in your cover letter starting with your strongest. If you're really unsure as to what the recruiter is looking for, email them and ask for further information.



A lot of people tell me I have to exaggerate the truth in my CV to get on, and that everybody else is doing it anyway so I'd be daft not to join in.

CVs
Concentrate on writing a compelling profile (description of your attributes) at the start of your CV and you won't have to lie about your qualifications, skills or grades. It's fine to promote why you'd be a good hire, but you don't need to lie to do that; just think of your job application or CV from the recruiter's perspective.


Can potential employers demand that I take a drugs test?

Yes employers can demand that you take a drugs test, but they need to publish or inform candidates that this is a requirement. It is common to test for drugs in industries where candidates work with pharmaceutical or biochemical products, finances or with young or vulnerable people. The armed and emergency forces and the prison service are also increasingly using drugs tests.



I was too busy studying and then went travelling after uni. Everybody bangs on about work experience - what can I do?

CVs
Checking your work experience is an easy way for employers to figure out what you'll be like as an employee. However, you can get around having limited or no work experience by describing yourself from an employer's perspective. The best way to do this is in the 'profile' section of your CV. If you've been travelling you may well be adventurous, independent and self-motivated, if you travelled in a group perhaps you are also sociable and a good team player. Employers recognise that many of the skills you develop whilst travelling can easily be transferred to the workplace. For more advice on gap year travel see To gap or not to gap.


Some of my mates have said that it's a good idea to do voluntary work. Is this true or is it a waste of time?

CVs
This is good advice, volunteering can boost your confidence and help to build up a network of future employers or people that might recommend you for a job. Here's what Mark Crosby a volunteer teacher in Malawi had to say on the subject:

"I gained so much more in my confidence, my interpersonal skills, and my knowledge of development issues. And it really does add something to your CV."





How long should my CV be?

CVs
On average recruiters take 8 seconds to decide whether to screen a CV in or out. Keep your CV punchy and stick to the job of selling your abilities. Ideally it should be no more than two sides of A4 paper long. If you have recently graduated highlight your subject and course grades, also detail your dissertation or final year project describing its focus and how you went about completing it. Caroline Buckingham, Pro-Active Resourcer at Microsoft UK has the following tips:
"As you can imagine we get hundreds of CVs submitted to Microsoft every day, therefore it's very important for a candidate to really think about their CV before they submit it. Keep it clear, to the point and highlight all the relevant skills needed for the job you are applying for. You may need to change each CV for every position you apply for as this will ensure you are tailoring your CV to the needs of the job."

Should I include a photo or personal details in my CV?
There is no requirement to include marital status (this may not be the case for Nigerian employers), your vital statistics, or a photo in your CV as it's not relevant to your suitability for jobs. The exception are jobs where you wouldn't be considered unless you have certain attributes e.g. appearing on a reality TV singles show! Any unusual requests should be stated and explained in the job description. You don't have to justify life style choices; suitability for the role in question is all that a recruiter should be interested in.


How do I get good work references if I've been at university and don't have work experience?
If this is your first job references from tutors, mentors, or friends (preferably those that work in business) are fine. You don't need to stipulate who your referees are on your CV or job application, just put at the bottom of your CV that you do have referees available to be contacted if necessary. If your future employer (or college) wants to take up references, warn your referees and find out how they would prefer to be contacted. If your prospective employer wants to call your referees agree a time. You don't want your referee to get called mid-way through their weekly shop!


Qualified but lacking in experience
If you have the qualifications, but lack the experience, consider advising or working (part-time) with local businesses to build up your experience. Diversity or breadth of experience matters more than length of time. You will demonstrate enthusiasm and perseverance to your prospective employer and these personality facets add value to an organisation.

You may have to be the special one in your cv because it is the one that will speak for you at first when you are not there. If you have not been called for an interview before after so many cvs post, then I suggest you review how and what you write on your cv.
you may find useful help on the site below

It is always assume that another name for CV is resume.  But the fact is that there is a difference between the 2.  There are things to be considered when it comes to which one to submit.  Knowing the different between the 2 will help you make a good decision.

[so, what are the differences between the two?]

It is interesting to find this thread. I am Ayeni Olawale from Ilupeju Ekiti

Shola Oniyelu Bawo ni, se o wa pa?

Thank you for your encouragement so far. It is not my wish but, the pains can be so severe and persist for long. My doctor said dont eat these: (Plenty of foods that I like) I keep to that but the pain will still come. I have spent almost all my money on this and it is stturbon. More than 4 years now. I am not really enjoying live. I am psycologically affected that even if I am laughing, my mind will go there and I will have to control my laughter. So far, I appreciate your encouragement and critisism I welcome more!

It is a bit hard for fresh graduate to boost their cv because of the demanding of experience. However, their are thing you can include in your cvs that will make you get the nud
check out in my blogs below

LOCATION: Before sitting out any business, you have to know “who are the likely people that will need your services/products”. This is where the issue of audience comes in. Approaching the right people will help you make more money with lesser work. For instance, you have a new beautiful computer mouse to be sold and you begin to go to public schools for teachers to buy. You ma make sales but it will be the hard way. Instead, you can target business centers, cyber cafés, private schools where they have computers in much.

PREPARE FOR COMPETITON: Some businesses had failed because they can not withstand the pressure of competition. You have to really study things like (1). Who are the people in the business already? (2). Are they doing the business the right way? (3). Is there anything they are supposed to add and they are not adding e.g. customer service. I will prefer someone who will attend to me very well and ready to take both relevant and irrelevant question from me with smile.
You have to study where you can improve on what others are lacking and make this known to you audience.

BRANDING & PACKAGING: If you really want o stay much in business without thinking much of competition, then you have to make you service different brand. You can offer the same service but branding it in a different way will (1). Make you less border about competition. (2). Add more value to your services despite it is the same result with others. (3) Fetch you more money.

EXPERIENCE: This is a very important issue in the course o doing a successful business. Experience will help you to handle so many issues and problem that money cannot solve. It will also help you to reduce your expenses. One of the ways to go about this is to have a good consultant or interview people that know about the business either directly or indirectly.

PASSION: Please if you want to do business, my advice for you is to do a business that you have passion for. This will enable you to keep your head high even when things are not going well especially at the start of the business. 2 people started printing business. Mr. A had no money to set up the business but he has passion for it since a very long time. Mr. B had enough money and he agreed to finance the business. Shortly after the business took off, unexpected competition started and Mr. B decided to withdraw. Because of the passion that Mr. A have, he had been able to go extra mile and the business is about to change gear as he had almost paid the millions to Mr. B back to him. This is a true life story.

MANAGEMENT: Never misuse fund when you are beginning to make profit. This should sink well to everybody’s mind without much explanation. At least 40% of your profit should be in reserve to expand the business.

START SMALL: If you able to discipline yourself very well which is a must even if you have big money, then you should be able to start small. Never attempt to buy the best, the most expensive and etc at the start of the business. For instance, employing the best man in the field at the beginning of the business will make you pay high salary at the beginning which may affect a new business. THIS IS OVER INVESTMENT
NOTE: you can do this when you are sure the business had grown.

CAPITAL: This is equally important. But I want to tell you today that this is the list important. A new business that lacks capital but has all the above intact will survive, though, it may take time. A business that have capital but lacks the above quality will fail.

Now I can not eat my favorite foods. If the pains comes Even if I am in paradise at that moment It will be another thing.
