Hello house.
I keep applying for jobs posted here and other places,even the ones I have the experience required and those that states no experience required yet I have not gotten any interview invite. from January to now I will say I have applied for MORE THAN 50 jobs but no invite.it is really troubling me and I can't keep quiet anymore.
Please what exactly do you think I am not doing right? If invites were coming after applying it would have been a different case. help a confused soul.
What should I do?



Hello everyone,


Quite a lot of you sent me your CVs to help analyse, it's unfortunate that i can't reply all of you, even though i replied some of you through the email you sent me with.

Generally, while going through some of your CVs, i discovered so many errors which as far as i am concerned most of you are not to blame for these errors. Some of these errors are;

1- Use your name as your email. if your name is John Abayomi Toju, you could use johntoju@yahoo.com, or abayomitoju@gmail.com. I discovered that so many of you had emails like sexybeauty4u@gmail.com. Now, if i may ask, does the latter look professional or the applicant is serious? Definitely No.. If you have emails like that, kindly go and open another one using your name. It could be your first name and last name, or your middle name and last name, but make sure your last name is involved..

2- Also, some of you had two email addresses and two telephone numbers on Your CVs... Please, kindly remove one of them and use the ones that are your official emails and main Mobile number.. Make sure the ones you use are the ones that when an employer wants to contact you, he/she would get across at you speedily.

3- Some didn't put references. If you have references, pls put them. During one of my two-day courses in Human Resources, i was surrounded by many recruiters who also came for the course. One particular Recruiter while contributing said that, ''once i am reviewing a cv, after going through the name names, email and past positions, i go straight to references, and when i see anyone with REFERENCES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST, i just throw that cv away into the trash can''... So you can imagine the little little things people make mistake.


4- I also, discovered, many of you putting your primary school and secondary school on your cv. In 2013, i attended and interview and when the woman saw my cv, she asked me these questions, is you waec result made up of only distinction? which i said no. she further asked me if notable men and women also attended my secondary school, of which i couldnt mention any. She said if my answer is no, let me remove my secondary school on my cv. And you all know that women are very mean during interviews.

5- Those of you with OBJECTIVES, please when writing what you intend to contribute in a firm, also put what you wish to achieve while working in the firm.. for example... ''i want to be identified with a reputable firm where i can contribute meaningfully to the development of the firm and also see myself develop in so so and so areas....

Same thing with me. In fact, I'm tired and frustrated. I'm thinking of starting a blog with the internet access that I have, or what other thing do u think I could do with internet legally that would fetch me something? Because I subscribed #2500 per month on my modem, majorly for this job application stuff, still nothing to show for it. Please, anyone in the house that could help and review my CV, I would surely appreciate the person. delightedgirl it is not easy doing nothing.

thanks, I understand someone just don't have to lose hope, just sometime I always feel reluctant to apply for other vacancies, because those that I had applied for has no positive result. Like what do you think I can use the internet for?

My little advice. ..
I have beenin that situation too..
I want you to consider the following.
1. Most of these jobs posted online are repetitions. Probably the deadline is past, but the bloggers will edit the deadline out and you will think its still available.
2. If you are sending your CV through mobile device.....try and send it to a mail you can access and see how it appears. If you can access the email, position yourself as the recipient HR. Go through the mail and judge it yourself. If you are convinced that you deserve a reply, then move to number 3.
3. Check if your potentials and soft skills are attractive at first glance of the CV.
4. Verify the authenticity of the vacancy befor applying.
Lastly, don't give up. I remember i wrote a test in January 2016 for a vacancy i applied for in june 2015.

I hope my little tips will guide the path of your resume. ......cheers.
dnt mind my English o, am still under training cheesy

WORD!! God bless you men, I am inspired.
