Avoid Writing Horrible CVs - Lol! After my 1st degree, and looking from the benefit of hindsight, my first CVs were horrible! (universities never taught anyone how to write a good CV; they should now!). My CV contained all kinds of unnecessary sections and words, viz, state & local government area of origin, DoB, sex, religion, a summary of secondary school senior certificate exam results, etc. For what? Hahaha! Now, people who still insist on putting these on their CVs and citing it is acceptable in their country, I often ask them, "can you submit that for an int'l job?" So, if it's 'no good' for the global job environ, why force it on the local job market (I understand you must tweak CV most times for every need)? In most industrialised countries, it's criminal to 'openly' discriminate or decide who to employ based on origin, sex, age, etc. In my article this week- https://lnkd.in/eriU5Mw -, I show how you can write an interview-winning CV. Hi, my name is Ita John. I train people, using an empirical methodology I developed which is based on 14 KEY themes plus the actions to take, to get graduate-level jobs quicker. I have 100% clients' job success so far. PM me to discuss moving forward with this- [email protected] +447716508624 Kayode Hammed
Thanks for sharing. The mentioned link is not working, could you check please?
Thanks for this article.But in need to ask this,in a situation where the recruiter stated that women are advised to apply,don't you think sex should be included?
Thank you for sharing Ita!!
I agree with you Ita John, Ph.D. However, a well known HR once challenged me on this so, the question is ; is every HR/Recruiter/Headhunter on the same page?
