adewumiopeyemi: This is totally wrong. Your secondary school is an integral part of your educational background. I got a job some years ago simply because of the name of my secondary school ( I attended Fed Govt Academy , Suleja) which became a plus for me. I actually think this is where you can sell yourself as a fresh graduate as you dont have experience. |

adewumiopeyemi: Well this one is for the people that didnt do so well. If u had 9 A1s in WAEC or made a first class. Please flaunt it on your CV. If possible paint it red. What if you never get the opportunity to show your smartness at an interview |

adewumiopeyemi: This is still Nigeria where even our presidency and ministerial appointments is zoned. Same goes for employment too. Your state of origin and LGA are still important. Though this could make or mar u....as employers still use sentiment. When I was employed, we were 4....a Yoruba guy, an igbo guy, a Rivers guy, and a Hausa babe. Coincidence? I think not. Gender is also very important. |

adewumiopeyemi: Your objectives should contain 3 fundamental things....The skills you possess....what you can offer.....and what you want in return " I want to work for an organisation that offers a stimulating environment for career growth and development". This is not too much to ask from a company that "U are willing to work to your limits in order to contribute your own quota to achieving company's objectives and goals" |

Thanks for the information These 10 Things On Your CV Could Be The Reason You’re Not Getting Hired Coming up with a well written, concise CV is one of the hardest tasks ever. HR Managers and recruiting officers have thousands of CVs to go through. Therefore, your CV can be disqualified simply because of small mistakes here and there and maybe, just maybe, that is why you are not getting call backs from potential employers.cc lasticala Here’s how to come up with the perfect CV: 1. Unnecessary personal information Anything besides your name, email address and contact information should not be included on your CV. Details such as your tribe, age, height, weight and religion are minor details that no one cares about.[/quote] |

lisimmo:How can you be best graduating student in 2010 yet according to your profile, you enrolled for a degree programme in 2008 and graduated 2013. Avoid any unnecessary inconsistency by all means....I won't listen to your explanation if I spot it in an interview panel. You could run the business down! |

toprealman: The contents of the CV sample I posted are just space holders. Take a look at the name Hamza Temitayo Chinyere. Who bears an Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo name all at the same time? |
Re: These 10 Things On Your CV Could Be The Reason You’re Not Getting Hired by toprealman: 10:33pm On Aug 07, 2016 |
lisimmo:Nnamdi Azikiwe's children. Google it. Would have done same cause I love naija toh badth. Sighted the discrepancies and signed off from the CV......like your typical HR would have done! No time for solving CV puzzle. |
