Learn How To Write A Good CV in Nigeria

To make your job-hunt, internships or Industrial Attachment
search a success; we advise that you learn to write a good CV in
Nigeria – the way it truly appeal to local employers. We have
noticed with utmost dismay that writing a CV in Nigeria is
something people put off for as long as possible and when they
eventually get to it, they have the impression that so long as
important elements such as work experience, educational
qualifications and bio-data are in place, a CV is complete.
Sorry to disagree!
We believe that your CV is an account or narration of yourself.
It is YOU talking about YOU in YOUR very own words and in the
best way possible. It starts from who you are, to all the places
you have been and how you have contributed to those places; your
achievements, how you spent your time, and even personal details
like your marital status and so on. Bearing this in mind, every
detail and information provided must be meticulously considered
and articulately presented. Put your most flattering qualities
or accomplishments up front and then move gradually to less
flattering qualities.
In writing your CV in Nigeria, presentation is everything! Your
content, layout, template, font type, font size, line spacing,
bullets and borders are all crucial in achieving a great looking
CV. If someone has 3 years of experience and another has 6 years
of experience, and they are both applying for the same job, the
ONLY thing that differentiates them is the way they both present
their work experiences.
The basic elements of your CV in Nigeria should be profile, work
experience, achievements (if any), trainings (if any),
educational qualifications, bio-data, hobbies and referees.
Please note that no particular format or template is cast in
stone, every template can be amended to suit a particular
requirement at any given time.
# How To Write A Good CV in Nigeria
Profile
We would rather prefer a profile to an objective. An objective
is simply a goal while a profile is a brief description that
summarizes your qualities, vis-a-vis where you are coming from
and where you hope to be. It shouldn’t be more than two
sentences or three short sentences at most.
Experience
Your experience(s) should indicate the name of the company, your
designation/title, your job description and the duration of
service. The address of the company is not compulsory except you
are applying for a job outside of your state or country of
residence. Your experience(s) should follow a chronological
sequence (most recent to least recent). Also stick to the
present tense when describing your current job description.
Achievements
This is a run-down of exceptional accomplishments you have
bagged over a period of time. It can include a record breaking
GP, an award, a surpassed target, an impeccable record and the
likes. Your achievements are supposed to score you extra points
with a potential employee but if it does otherwise, chuck it.
Bio-data
Your bio-data which consists of your date of birth, s*x and
state of origin are not necessarily your most important details.
Infact, it could serve as a disadvantage. Should you apply for a
particular vacancy and you are past the age requirement, if your
age is the first thing a potential employer sees, you are likely
to be disqualified even before your CV is given a proper
appraisal. So it’s best to keep those details at the tail end of
your CV.
Points to bear in mind:
1. Chose bold and legible fonts
2. Use simple and unambiguous words. Leave no room for
vagueness.
3. Have a focus and find a way to infuse your interest and
specialization into your CV
4. Be accountable. Always account for time spent. Ensure your CV
reflects that you are constantly adding value, honing your
skills or getting more education.
5. Never include in your CV what you are not a 100% certain will
be a plus.
6. Keep your CV to a maximum of three pages except you have had
several years of experience.
7. Ensure that you can defend everything that you have written
in your CV
8. Lastly, don’t forget to KISS! (Keep It Short and Simple!)
See you at the top! Share this let your friends also learn to
write a good CV in Nigeria.
