Tobex4realTobex234: whats the point posting a "free" post here when u knw ur initial motive was to ask for payments? i guess your idea was to drag in as much as possible mail IDs traffic so u could advertise ur self more... most persons seek jobs and ideas just like d op has delighfuly done, but to ask person to pay for your input just because of a screenshot we dont knw were u got frm is utter rubbish... 1 Like |

This is an excerpt from a facebook update I just read. It's very helpful. "...They taught us how to write resumes. It was in that office that I learned how to write a resume that gets jobs. Indeed, that skill has remained with me till today. About two weeks ago, a friend of mine, who had appointment with important people in government called me and requested a favour: What favour? He said that he had seen my resume (firm's resume) somewhere recently and that he would want me to help reorganise his resume to look like mine. As students, we use to write resumes a lot then. During my entire career history, I have been receiving and evaluating resumes of people. So, I have an idea how this works. There are international standards to follow. Unfortunately, they don't teach Nigerian students how to write resumes. When I see a resume from Nigerians in Nigeria, I get shocked. I still see people try to indicate their genders in their resume, and even their religions. For instance you see a resume submitted by "Cynthia Brimoh" (only as an example), and in it, Cynthia is trying to inform you that she is a female. You see resume submitted by "James Chukwuemeka" (also just an example), and it it James is trying to inform you that his nationality is Nigerian and that his state of origin is Anambra. I always know how hard it is to hire such a person. You see resumes in which people provide as their references names with the following titles: "Alhaji ….", "Pastor ….". I know that unless you are looking for a job in a church, that Pastor is going to ruin your chances of getting a job, and even more so by that Alhaji...." Did you pick anything? |

living2013:Can you call "Supervising", and " Reporting" hobbies? |
Re: 10 Things To Quit Putting On Your Resumes by Gboliwe: 2:06am On Sep 11, 2015 |
living2013: If your hobbies can relate with the job, it's understandable. One thing I have come to understand in this life is that every single rule has an exception. You can't remain rigid. One must learn to tweek wisely. That's why I also said no one CV should fit all job openings. |
