#ResumeTips: Hobbies and Interests

When listing your hobbies in your resume/CV, always add hobbies relevant to the role...e.g Photography, Writing, Event Management, Fashion Designing etc.

Avoid using unproductive hobbies like watching movies, sleeping etc

Now..go and clear that mess in your CV 🏃‍♂️

CV Mistakes You Should Avoid
1. Graphic design can be a great way to stand out in an industry where creativity is needed. For most roles, it's recommended to avoid graphics as ATS (Application Tracking System) can't read this information and most likely be rejected. You can use the same space to write relevant skills and use keywords to improve your chances. 

Note: using your image is allowed based on which country check local requirements. 

2. Job Experience: Make sure you use an active verb and describe what you and what impact/achievements you made; otherwise, it just sounds like job spec. 

Example: 
I. Marketing: Created online sales funnel on social media, which increased lead conversion rate by 10%.

II. Sales: Exceeded all quotas, resulting in a 60% revenue increase over 12 months.

III. Graphic Designer: Used expertise in Adobe Creative Suite to design 100+ logos, social media posts per month for 10+ clients. 

IV. Event Planning: Lead organising and managing for 5+ corporate events attended by 500+ people. 

V. IT Architect: Used C++ to crate IT infrastructure for 10+ clients.

3. Number of Pages: 

66% Employers Say Entry-Level Workers Should Have 1 Page Resumes.
77% Employers Say Seasoned Workers Should Have 2+ Page Resumes

Five (5) Tips for Writing a Professional Resume/CV.

1. Relevance Experience
2. The Right Skills
3. Quantifiable Achievements
4. ATS-Friendly
5. Impeccable Formatting

1. Relevant Experience:
Make sure that the jobs, experience and achievements/awards that you include are relevant to the position you're applying for.

2. The Right Skills:
This is a great time to run wild with those keywords from the job description. For example if they're looking for someone with experience in Business Analysis, be sure to list it in your resume's skills section.

3. Quantifiable Achievements:
Your workplace accomplishments tell the story of the unique value you bring to an organization. Stay away from dry descriptions of job duties. Use numbers to help contextualize your achievements.

E.g. I led implementation of 400 million Naira institutional capacity building project...

4. ATS-Friendly:
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is a piece of software employers use to collect, scan, organize and rank applications. The key to getting your CV past ATS and into the hands of hiring managers are smart keyword usage and good formatting.

5. Impeccable Formatting:
Fornatting a resume/CV so that it looks professional amd attractive is important. Choose a CV template that suits your profession but try and avoid colour blocks, images, borders, and caligraphic fonts as these are common deterrent to ATS.

Here’s a guide to answering the salary question in an interview!

Answering this question wrong can seriously ruin your whole job interview. If you lowball yourself you could either go to work with far less than you could have received or they might think you don’t value yourself and you’ll lose out on the job.

On the other hand, if you pick a number too high they might think they can’t afford you and let you go.

So researching salary ranges for your industry and going in prepared is key 📌

CV Hack:

Remove objective statements because it's about you and not what you can bring to the company. Replace them with a streamlined professional summary which shows your skills, achievements, attributes and qualifications. You can include objective statements if you are a fresh graduate with no experience or you are doing a career pivot.

#CVHack:

Quantifiable Achievements:

Your CV should have an active and not a passive voice so please use action verbs which highlights impact like monitored, pioneered, engineered, led as opposed to writing words like responsible for, conducted etc.
