A general rule about being specific is to focus on your hard skills and particular experiences. State these in a way that would make most sense to your present prospective employer.

The objective section of your resume is an opportunity to market yourself to a particular employer as already said.

While optimizing your resume, don't use a one-size-fits-all approach as most job seekers do. To stand out among other candidates for the job, make your next employer feel special. Let your resume read as if it was made just for him/her.

For instance, if you are currently a teacher and you are applying for a marketing position, you can mention something about how your teaching skills can help you to sell the employer's product or service.

Keep it simple and short.

More on making yourself relevant enough to not only be hired but also to be valued highly by your next employer.

Use this to make yourself strongly relevant to your next employer. They will employ you only based on what they stand to gain from you. But, you're the one to CONVINCE them.

The problem of EMPLOYMENT GAPS. One big problem job seekers have about employment gap is that they misunderstand what the phrase "employment history" or "job experience" means.

So, know this: Whatever has kept you busy and from which you acquired any job-relevant experience is a part of your job experience or employment history. So, don't hesitate to include it.

For instance, if you took out 6 months to teach yourself programming or visit some countries, you can include it as a part of your job experience. It even makes you stand out in the eyes of
prospective employers.

Make sure that your resume has no errors. One little error can cost you a big job.

Take note of the instructions on the plate below. Later on, we will talk more about optimizing and designing your resume in a way that no one can ever deny you a job.

Your resume is a brief story about your life that you tell anyone you want to work with to enable them know how much you can make their work and life better.

This is to say that your resume is the most important way for a prospective employer to begin to know you (in terms of your background, how intelligent you are, how much people skill you have, how organized you are, etc). Therefore, project the very best of yourself in your resume and don't presume that your prospective employer will understand.

Place yourself in the position of an employer. Imagine that you own a company and you are looking for workers to help your company succeed. How would you go about it?

I attended a Google Primer Webinar On how to maximize your resume to land a job faster. I obtained the plates from the webinar. I will share them with you (accompanied with comments) and you will see how easy it can be to land your dream job faster than you ever imagined.

First, it starts from your mind. You must remove a lie from your mind. That lie says "there's no job". Big big lie.

There are jobs. As you are seeking a job, there are also employers looking for workers.

The anti-war campaigner Desmond Nweke has posed 5 tough questions to Nigerians in his latest article: 5 Questions For Nigerians As Kanu And Adeyemo Stand Trial.

I think every Nigerian needs to read this...

As two prominent ethnic freedom fighters are being oppressed by the Buhari Junta 2.0, I call for soul-searching among Nigerians. If not, we may well be heading for a cliff in our national life. Really, it's no longer just about Kanu and Igboho.

Here are some questions I want us to start with:

1. What's the crime in telling you not to kill me?
I ask this question because that's basically the crime that Kanu and Adeyemo are being charged for. Each of them are basically incriminated for saying "Let the Fulani stop killing our people".

I know that some people would claim that Kanu's ESN has recorded cases of violence instigated by Kanu. But, why is no one talking about the provocation that pushed them to do that? Even statutory laws recognize the role of provocation in the acts and actions of legal entities. Or, have we forgotten Emene, Nkpor, Afaraukwu, and other massacres meted out to IPOB that provoked the group? Why has no one been held responsible for any of those massacres of unarmed young people? And, why is someone being held responsible for getting provoked by them?

And, if ESN's history of violence is the reason for persecuting Kanu, what's the reason for persecuting Adeyemo?

2. Why are the people saying "stop killing us" getting arrested but the people they are complaining against are never arrested or prosecuted? Here is a government that has the capacity to sponsor an operation to kidnap a freedom fighter from a foreign country. But, how come this same government seems to be helpless against killer herders? Doesn't this clearly prove that Muhammadu Buhari is actively behind his killer kins to keep killing those who elected him President?

3. Why is Buhari destroying the democracy that made him the President and nobody is protesting? Is it fair to break a bridge that helped you to cross to your destination?

4. What else could Muhammadu Buhari do as Nigeria's President before he deserves to be impeached? Say, do we really have democracy in Nigeria now? Can someone tell me what else Buhari could do as a President before the legislative arm of the government considers impeaching him? Here is a President who is obviously and actively and serially murdering the citizens that supposedly voted him as the President.

So, what other presidential crime could be worse than denying your citizens their right to life and persecuting those who dare to resist you? So, what other weightier crime could Muhammadu Buhari commit against the Nigerian citizenry before the legislature even considers showing him the door?

5. Otherwise, where is the democracy we claim to have in this country?

post=103053024:

Must you wail on everything in life?
Or can't you read?
Where is the promise here kiddo?
The thread talks about rewarding and fulfillment, but all your eyes have been programmed to read/see PERMANENTLY is failed promise!
Even on such a good and happy news like this for Chioma and her family, you still cane up with your negative vibes!
Na wa for una o, sho !!!


The thing is that the wall clock in their houses is permanently on hate O'clock!

They and their ilks are only negative 24/7 and 365 days in a year.
They wake up in hate and anger and live throughout the day the same way!
We wonder when they find time to be happy, smile with family members, have fun, make love and  sometimes, just as other human beings do!
It is well with their souls o.


You even have the time to reply those that have chosen to be willfully blind and deaf to good and positive news!

I would have taken all you said here seriously if I've ever seen you openly disapprove of Buhari's obvious complicity in the serial murder of Nigerians by his kins under his supervision. As it stands, what I see is that you're only being sanctimonious in order to deceive. Meanwhile, why are you practically worshipping Buhari? So much that he's always right in your judgment? Yet, you sometimes sound quite evolved - like today. How come you are vesting such a great soul in absolute support of such a bloodthirsty government? Why? Repent or your light will be taken away soon.

nonsense post, holy spirit ko unholy spirit ni

Who is talking about Holy Spirit here? Be careful oh.

The fearless anti-war campaigner Desmond Nweke has published this open letter this evening. He reveals another dimension about what really happened to the late COAS Attahiru and uses it to warn the Government as well as ESN.

Good evening every one of you.

As the Biafran Remembrance Day beckons, we can see muscles flexing and waxing. They are waxing to shed innocent blood in parts of South-East tomorrow. Yes, we know this from past events. So, we can no longer be fooled.

We have pleaded with the feuding parties and it seems that the pleas are falling on deaf ears. Now, here is an open warning as a last resort. If any innocent blood is shed in any part of the South-East tomorrow or thereafter due to the action or inaction of any one of you flexing muscles, the punishment stated below will be meted out to you. Here below also, is stated why the four of you are being pointed out here as well as what you MUST do and why.

Let's get a bit more concrete and personal by starting this warning with a real-life story - one that is both familiar and immediate. It's a story about the dead COAS. In case you do not know, let me tell you what happened to the COAS. It's related to the Biafran Remembrance Day Celebration of 2021. The COAS was appointed specifically to deal with the South-East. They knew he was once the GOC of 82 Division Enugu. So, he knew the South-Eastern terrain very well. Yet, they had worse security challenges in the North but they never paid them so much attention. That tells you how much bad will that is really the issue here.

To make a long story short, the late COAS died on a trip to discuss unprofessional strategies for the South-East come this Biafra Day. He was to meet army chiefs in Kaduna and also liaise with Governor El-Rufai. But, the Angel of the Lord struck him with all his grand plans and some key members of his think-tank. There's no time on the Lord's hands for political correctness.

The above story is the reason Governor El-Rufai cried his heart out on the demise of the COAS. It's not because El-Rufai has a very golden heart that made him to weep so uncontrollably. And if he persists in his wicked plans, his family and friends will soon weep also.

I'm forced to tell you this story to warn every ONE of you who is too proud because you think you've got a lot of power now. I am reminding you that there is a HIGHER POWER, and it's very much around in the country now. Any bloodshed that can be avoided must be avoided both tomorrow and afterwards. If not, anyone who could have helped to avoid it but failed to do so, would see consequent punishment similar to what the dead COAS saw.

It's absolutely acceptable anywhere for any group of people to set out a day to honor the memory of their beloved departed souls. So, it's completely wrong for anyone to try to force the people of the defunct State of Biafra to not observe the Biafran Day in the quiet of their homes. You shouldn't do that, not in a democracy at least.

This is for you the Nigerian Government that may be battle-ready as usual. It's also particularly for you Governor Umahi of Ebonyi State who is acting like a despot by forcing people to go to their private businesses even at a possible risk to their lives - if past experiences are a guide. Always remember that the power you have is thoroughly transient. So, stop being this tyrannical in a government position described as democratic.

Nigerian governments at all levels must stop this hypocrisy. If you are still criminalizing the memory of the Biafran fallen heroes during the war, then, it's more than clear that Nigeria is only paying a lip service to the 3 Rs declared by the Gowon Administration at the end of the war in 1970. Otherwise, where is reintegration and reconciliation, talk less about reconstruction?

At the same time, it would be very wrong for anyone to try to force Biafrans to stay at home on the Biafran Day. If we do that, tell me where we are truly better than the Nigerians we criticize so much. We can't afford to fail as a Nation whenever Biafra becomes a reality. And, for us not to fail, we must do things radically differently from the country we want to secede from. So, let's not lay the foundation of the new nation on tyranny as it is in Nigeria. Allow Biafrans to observe the day voluntarily (out of pure love for our heroes and heroines past).

Let me tell you that Biafra is God's Own Project. So, from now, no one can fight her (whether from the outside or inside) and will not suffer dire consequences. At the same time, no one can be too important in the project. Otherwise, if you arrogate too much importance to yourself, - listen - you won't get to the Promise Land. If it happened to Great Moses of Israel, who are you to think that it can't happen to you?

Let's live and let live. God has made the world big enough to accommodate all of us. Let no one make our fallen heroes and heroines restless in their graves by killing those they left behind on the day that they are meant to be remembered specially. Those fighting to ward off enemy invaders, that's a very noble task. They should go on and focus on that rather than forcing the citizens to sit at home. The Nigerian governments should also focus on administering the highest good for the highest possible number of the citizens.

So, whether you are the President of Nigeria, a military commander or soldier working in the South-East, a governor, Nnamdi Kanu, or whoever, please, for your own good, allow the fear of God to guide you or the power you now exercise will soon - very soon - be taken from you and the Nebukadneza treatment meted out to you.



Sincerely,

Desmond Chinedu Nweke

Welcum:

How exactly did they bring an ant-infested piece of wood to their house? Did you see that photo of that pregnant woman and her husband murdered by the Fulani under the protection of the Police and military? Do you know that it's one of the many reasons people started fighting back? Are you saying they should have allowed themselves to be killed. Answer me.

Don't mind those wicked souls. He can't answer you.

Valkrie:
I suspect the eastern governor paid the said Nweke to say all this nonsense...how can somebody sit at home means declaration of war or open confrontation with her army? It's their business and I think non should interfere..they have the right to sit at home as long as no law is broken...!! Some people still think they can use political manoeuvring to confuse the people...!!

For this sit at home exercise..its purely an individual and private issue and nobody can stop it...!!

The government forget that it is the people that determine where power truely lay....!!

Some of you don't think clearly at all. How can you say this writer was paid. Was he also paid to risk his life when he started the hunger strike. So, unless someone says that Kanu is Alpha and Omega that is always right, the person must be paid. If war starts now, people like you would be the first to melt. Just 2 days of hunger now and you will be crying like a baby. Mtchew!

Why

This warning about what the FG may do in the SE on Sunday shouldn't be taken lightly.

https://www.nairaland.com/6574969/see-what-befalling-south-east-sunday#102148899

I beg everyone to read the full length and share. We should learn to prevent a problem instead of waiting to complain about them.

Guynexttdoor:
Shut up bro sunday is service.

Please, it's wrong to make the world think that insult is a Biafran trademark. Whom are you telling to shut up and why?

It's not good to talk too much. In other news, while our 'men of God' are pursuing contracts, a supposed 'worldly' Nigerian has petitioned the UN, threatening to start a hunger strike on Monday due to the insecurity in the country https://www.nairaland.com/6541348/insecurity-nigerian-petitions-un-threatens

Isn't this the kind of things our men of God should be known for?

If you want to spend your time to report anything, at least, report it in a way that people would believe you. While saying "midget" for example? And who will ever believe you when you claim that the Buhari Government cares about image?

Stop this deception. Stop it.

Watch as the BMC will avoid this thread like leppers.

They know what they are doing. Helinues and avoid the truth like a plague.

I meant pic seven

Only someone like you can unite Nigeria now. Why not contest

How come In the President's state too Who knows what is going on in Katsina

In another news, a Nigerian has written to the United Nations, threatening to start a hunger strike on Monday... https://www.nairaland.com/6541348/insecurity-nigerian-petitions-un-threatens

BluntTheApostle:
It is becoming clearer every day that these attacks are politically motivated.

Some persons want to distract and destabilize this government.

May their ends come quickly in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!!!

If the bolded line is true, is it also the reason why the president is keeping quiet while everywhere is burning Please, try to think clearly.

419er.

Why not tell us the experiences of those who have been rescued so that we can tell who may have done it I believe that this wasn't done by IPOB because IPOB doesn't deal with ordinary citizens. What this may mean is that there are several forces at work in SE right now as a result of the negligence of a president. Say, what kind of demon is Buhari?

In another news, a Nigerian has written a threatening letter to the UN, to start hunger strike on Monday https://www.nairaland.com/6541348/insecurity-nigerian-petitions-un-threatens#101444032

mouthofThegod:

That's how you will keep thinking and crying till eternity...

What a mighty curse. I tell you, it is not flesh and blood that made you say that. These people are just too dark and dirty inside them.

So many weak brains in Nigeria like the op is the reason a backward janja.weed people are colonizing Nigeria among all people. They are not even able to colonize Chad and Benin Republic. Tụfịakwa! Rotten Nigerians!!!

Honestly, Buhari would have been a wonderful leader but for one fault he has that has destroyed all the good qualities in him.
