Grammar check!
You should read and re-read your cover letter n resume before submitting. Sometimes, because your brain is already overburdened, you could make sill*y mistakes without u noticing and not because you no sabi book.
Imagine instead of writing "Master of Public Service", you wrote "Master of Pubic Service"... cheesy That's an OYO!

What happens in the case of a fresh graduate??
While it is considered unethical in some quarters - what i did to gain the experience at least 1 yr was at ask a friend's father to put me up as an unpaid employee at his firm a few short walks from my face-me-i-face-you at Ijesha. the job was not frequent but as an employee i got a fanciful position that allowed me to combine job search with some live experience pushing memos and going to meetings and working on projects as an unpaid secretary (basically) at the end of it all. I got a bonus (12months salary basically) and had a job experience on my CV.. all this while searching for a job. I also learned to walk the walk and talk the talk useful to conquer some interview questions

I can tell you by experience that many people whose CVs go to our desk through their god fathers ended up not getting the job because of their CVs. The importance of a well written CV cannot be over emphasised
