Applying to different jobs with same CV is mostly unproductive. If you do this, don’t be surprised if you are not getting positive results. Every job position has a specific requirement. Tailoring your CV for each position you applied for could give you a better chance of landing that expected interview. Employers need qualified candidates that will be of great benefit to their business. If the information on your paper is cogent enough to meet up with their expectations, then you are in for a great deal.

To update CV successfully, the following steps can be put into consideration:
1. Review job description: Go through the job description of the position you intend to apply for. Access yourself and take note of your skills, experiences and education that is relevant which can make you an ideal candidate for the position.
2. Re-brand your career Objective or Profile: This section of your CV must be at the top. Rewrite and tailor it to the overall requirements of the position you are applying for. Use action words and chip in your education, experience and any important information in a brief.
3. Refresh SAEEXP Sections: Review your skills, Achievement, education & experiences (SAEEXP) and others extensively. Us the notes you have taken (step 1) as a guide to help you tailor the details of your qualifications to deal with each of the individual requirements laid out/expected in the job roles. Create bullet points that marry qualifications you’ve gained to date with each requirement of the role. Use laudable examples of your past experiences. If the job you want requires financial management, explain in detail about how you successfully managed finances of your previous employers.
4. Renew the Layout: Go through your CV’s layout thoroughly. Test different fonts and sizes, don’t use stylish font (I prefer New times, Ariel or Calibri). Stick to a basic layout that covers your details, skills, work experience, education and others in that order. It must be easy on the eye. Don’t use multiple colours and ensure that you do not leave too much white space on the page.
5. Review grammar and spelling: This must be done with absolute care. Go through the CV over and over again and check your spellings/grammar. You can as well get a second person (better of) to review it before your submission.

Everything we do, we need to ask for God's grace, but it also pays to get your work done rightly. As the saying goes, prayer without good work is dead.

That's true, but my friend was given employment letter before he submitted his application, in other words he was not interviewed, but he got the job before those who submitted their CVs & applications. God's grace first before any other thing.

Seen thanks

Nice

Noted.

This Guy is not a Nigerian.....

Well written but then do not forget to type your NAMES and PHONE NUMBERS in the biggest form available because that's just what matters when they decide to put a call through to that person they had predetermined to employ even before it was mentioned to the public.

In Nigeria getting job is by connection oR better still 'Man know mAn' may God help us in this sojourn friends

In addition to the points listed above, never lie on your CV. Is there a particular skill the job advert requires? No need to lie that you have such skills when in reality, you dont.

Avoid lengthy CVs especially for entry level. The maximum number of pages should be 2 unless the job advert indicates otherwise.
