“How?” You may ask? Recruiters start the hiring process immediately when your resume hits their desk. The main killers of getting more interviews by job seekers are spelling and grammatical errors. Spelling and grammar fails indicates to the recruiter that you don't have “attention to details skills” and that you can't “communicate effectively both by emails or verbally with co-workers or customers' ' and sadly these are very important skills to have.. Some of the common errors are, “oversaw site team engineers” (when it should be “oversaw a team of four site engineers”. Others include writing about old jobs in present tense and vice versa. Suggestions Involve a third eye review of your resume before submitting. Use online spell checkers to write your resume. If you want to be a professional, then let your resume make you look like one. 17 Likes 1 Share |

Nigeria is one funny country. Whenever I see the job requirements of any vacancy on LinkedIn, I look at it and wonder. Asin, craZy requirements. Yet, the person who occupies the highest office in the country cannot draft a good CV. His closest contender for the number one office only has a diploma. My point is, I'm so tired of these job requirements bullshit. Na jobless we just de, we no kill person 16 Likes |

All these things matter because work no dey. I once watched a CNN documentary where employers were begging Americans to come and work. They come to work today and disappear tommorow. If you work for an American, European (excluding Russians because those people are horrible), or Hong Kongite, they pay for your service and still thank you. If a Nigerian pays your salary, he feels he's doing you a big favour. He expects you to thank him for paying your salary. Our leaders have totally destroyed this shithole. In summary, all this CV NONSENSE na because say work no dey. 13 Likes 1 Share |

OP is a learner........All these things you put up there na story....it might be applicable to freshers or in the abroad. But believe me, here in naija.....all that one na story By the way when you have target to fill a certain number of positions with deadline and you have over 1000 cvs infront of you, the last thing you are looking at is their spelling, you will be looking at years of experience, qualification and job skill.. 3 Likes |
