bingbagbo:No be when you see genuine company advert Na im CV go count? Problem is.. Boss always has a long line of jobless persons... His secretary... The same His driver... The same Manager(if he is not)... The same And every other worker... All have persons to fill the position BEFORE it becomes available.. Nigeria... More jobs must be created... And it so simple.. It makes me sick that it's not being done.... How? Open more businesses... How? Make more loans available to public budding and current entrepreneurs... IF ONLY 40% of what we Nigerians use in a day were to be manufactured in our country... We will have more jobs than we can fill... How? Do I have to keep feeding you before you ask? Ask and I will answer... |

FriedPlantain:so is there an iso standard of format for cvs |
| Re: The 10 Worst Mistakes You Can Make On Your Cv!!!! by Nobody: 10:23pm On May 03, 2015 |
Ukeachu1:Not really, but ensure your CV is formatted to look as much professional as possible. No fancy font style, proper line spacing, avoid using too many colours, font size should be between 10-12, and pictures/passport is not allowed. In short , a well formatted CV is a neat looking CV devoid of jumbled or incoherent sentences. FriedPlantain 2 Likes |
