Just thought it wise and necessary to draw our attention to the on-going Push-CV recruitment/selection/elite programe quest.

Firstly, I must admit that I am the kind person who always critically look at situations, no matter who is involved. Even if the said situation involves my own pastor in the church, I dont just take it in hook, line, and sinker, without firstly examining it critically and objectively, in order to decipher the merits or otherwise.

Now when the Push-CV elite program advert was making the rounds on almost every social platform I came accross, by intuition, I initially had my doubts about the credibility of the program ( is there really any free launch in this part of the world? What is more, the adverts where comparable to that on the dreaded ebola virus). But then, I as always, relunctantly gave in to preasure from reasons and peers, and applied.

To make it short, I have since passed the initial stage (I believe it so, atleast for now) and proceeded to the second stage where you need to key in your educational information and the likes.

My attention was particularly drawn to the part where I was suppose to upload a CV. There were two options for this category: upload already created CV (recommended for professionals), and order a CV from us (conveniently recommended for the large army of students, Pre-NYSC, Post NYSC). Out of curiosity, I clicked on the second option just to be sure that I understood what they meant by the word "order." You already know the rest.

Now, that is the first part where I am joining issues with those behind this program. Come to think of how they took their time to give very compelling reasons why you should order a CV from them, got me thinking. Wouldnt it have been ideal if they gave tips (to those who for one reason or the other can not draft a good CV) on how best to prepare a good CV, rather than just cook a CV for a candidate?

Since its a program designed to make an unemployed person employable, how is this going to be possible if one (those who cant draft a good CV) doesnt even know the very fundamentals of a good CV drafting?

May be I am being unnecesarilly antagonistic here, but I still think it wont cost us a dime to punder on these few critical points befor going to pay a thousand naira to anyone.

Peace

Seun, and others, how did this make front page.

This is very immature.

CV writing is not free any way in the world even on LinkedIn.com
Applicants were not forced to have Pushcv write for them.

How will pushcv have money to advertise on national papers if they are fake.
Take this thread off front page, its very childish in reasoning

moreeni:
It's a methodical disclaimer. Don't forget that the initial two posts that graced the front page kind of suggest Nairaland endorsement for your company. So, this new post is a sort of caveat call to all stakeholders. Getit?

ideologies:
Missed call, I don't work with Pushcv, getit??

moreeni:
Whoops...I'm sure it will get to whom it may concern.

Standing ovation for you. Most people do not know what private details mean. It's important one knows whom they are dealing with and not some faceless dream job providers.

Finally, someone is reasoning with me...

I knew there'd be something fishy, the moment they started saying send this link to people bla bla..

Lots of people are participating, both student, employed and unemployed. So I really wonder how they intend handling such.

Never even knew they were gonna start asking for payment to use their so called Pro CV...

Btw I doubt if any Nigerian would make such payment.
If you are someone who is eager to get a job, I believe you must have gotten a well written CV that would attract any employer.

So peeps, abeg, if your gonna continue with the push CV stuff, get a good CV on your own, there are free online websites that can guide you. Having a healthy Self esteem is all that matters. Trust yourself.

Tried doing the stage 2 today but along the line had network issues. Gonna try it again. But as for payment? Nahh... I'll upload my Pro CV Id keep playing along, we never can tell.

But please dont put your eggs in one basket. Cheers

kulgee001:
Surely you are being antagonistic.

Firstly, professional CV writing is not a new venture. Maybe it is to you. So I can excuse you on that.
Secondly, your post is full of spelling errors right even from the title. Reasons why professional CV writing is required by some.
Thirdly, if you had researched PushCV, you would have known that they've been around for sometime before they came up with this brilliant idea to help unemployed Nigerians. If you go through their site, you would see that they have done a lot of work to help young Nigerians develop the skills required to succeed in their job hunt and like this Elite employee thingy, most are FREE.

Please endeavor to do a good research on matters before making an effort to discredit other people's hard work.

And Nairaland, which craze man take this thing go front page? How can you guys here at Nairaland not know better. I'm appalled.

PUSH CV LOL


My people, I wonder! So I thought too. I was a bit skeptical about the package, so I decided to take a clinical consideration of the whole thing.

I am not writing this to discourage anyone but just to keep us informed about the thingy.

What I did was to check out the profile of the founder/CEO of PushCV, Somto Ifezue. I was able to trace his profile to linkedin.com and I was amazed at what I saw. Somto Ifezue is a 23-year old young man and 2012 graduate of Covenant University Ota. In his linkedin network I saw other colleagues of his who are titled "co-founder" at PushCV, while others are either founder or CEO or MD at other firms or companies they formed themselves, and I wonder. I called some Covenant University alumni in my office to it and they told me they know some of them while at the university. They are all young men and ladies (20 - 25 years old) who graduated between 2011 - 2013.

Clever and innovative entrepreneurs they are, and I celebrate them for breaking the internet this time. I see those guys ruling the business world someday, but that's a talk for another day.

The thing got our blood rushing. You can imagine a big bros like myself forming serious candidate while taking the online tests. They gave me a certificate and awarded me some points after taking the first stage test. I decided to quite the process at the second test after I did the linkedin profile check, because I sensed they are test-running their business idea with our career interests.

I observed they create CV for job seekers, but I doubt what they claim to represent this time; "Elite CV Quest". I wonder what clients those guys have that can satisfy this pool of candidates they're pulling. I wonder! lol

samplanner:
exactly my thought. as far as I'm concern there is no one true acceptable format of a CV worldwide. all I know is that there are hundreds of CV formats worldwide and the best thing is that your CV should convey the information they need to know about you simple. Nigeria will hardly change.
