Mystery2020:
I have shared my experience here of how I got a job when I lied on my CV
I eventually resigned and decided to start afresh.

I got an invitation for interview at a small boutique in Ikoyi with a "clean" CV. The name of the company is A***** S****** A.M. limited. Their colour is green and orange.

The MD who is a governing member of a professional body told me to do something about my "honest" CV, that he does not like the gaps. He said I should go online to find templates. He repeated the same thing when I met with him again two months later. He did not employ me.

A month later, I applied for a job in the UK without any "CV" or satanic interview. All I submitted was a cover letter stating my educational background and skills. I was given some tasks as test and I got hired.
Please which platform did you use to apply for foreign job?

How did you apply?

Vote for Tinubu. The visionary man that will lead Nigeria to the promise land just like Moses led the people of Israel to the promise land. Vote Asiwaju Tinubu for Nigerian prosperity. Don't be intimidated by anyone. Don't be afraid of them insulting you. You can take there insult as a sacrifice for a better Nigeria.
God bless Tinubu
God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria
Get out of here!!!

You got job in UK without cv, na lie. Tarh mechie onu
It's possible.
In fact very possible.
A lot of companies, especially in the tech sphere do not ask what you studied in the university or who and who you've worked for.
They are interested in what you can do do for them.
I once met with the CEO of a tech coy in Lagos and he asked me to tell him about myself. I went on and on brandishing my education and how I have attended several ProDev courses, how I can lead a team and how I can work under pressure, my excellent time management skills and my great IPR skills.
The man just laughed.
Then he asked me, "what can you do for us, sir?" I was taken aback.
I didn't even know what to say.
Noticing my dilemma, he said it's ok. That I should relax.
He went on to tell me that serious tech firms don't care whether you have five PhDs in InfoTech.
You are useless to them if you can't solve a problem for them.
Besides, the guy said he submitted a cover letter which more than enough to tell prospective employers what you want them to know about you.
