Is Your CV Right As A Job Searcher/Applicant

Dear friend,

After school, I mean after graduation from school the next thing we hope for and look up to God for is getting a job, a nice and good job for that matter.

But there are a number of factors that enhances our chance s which most job seeker s have not been mindful of and which are definitely militating against their chances of getting a job .


One of them is the CURRICULUM VITAE. Most applicants do not know what is plays in the quest.

So??? Wats ur point den?

You have heard the expression "First impressions are lasting ones." Well, your resume is the first meeting between you and a prospective employer more often now than ever. So, how do you want to be remembered? Wrinkled and unorganized. Neat and structured. Long and boring. Precise and interesting. Companies do not have the time to interview every applicant that is interested in the job. If they did, there would not be a company to work for. They use an eliminating process. That's right - CVs or resumes. The purpose of the CV is to get the interview. After reading it, employers should want to get to know you better. Your resume is your friend, if properly prepared. If not, it could be just the thing that loses your opportunity. Use it to your advantage. You have complete control over whatever employer knows about you. Never falsify information, but emphasize the good, and de-emphasize the bad. Make sure your lasting impression is a profound and positive one.
