CV Tips: 5 Things You’re Forgetting to Do Before Sending Your Resume
If you could
choose between a beautifully tailored outfit designed to fulfil all of your
wildest fashion dreams or a ready-to-wear baggy tee from some random
retailer, which would you pick? That’s a rhetorical question. You’d
obviously want that tailored outfit. Did I mention it comes with bespoke
pockets? Well, it does.
In the age of
personalization, we want everything to be made to fit us. So, why would we
expect a hiring manager to want anything different when they get a stack of resumes
in response to a job offer? See here’s the rub. Whenever a hiring
manager posts a job offer, they receive 250+ other resumes on average in
response. From that pile, they need to find the one diamond that shines
brighter than all the others.
How
can you expect your resume to shine bright like a diamond (yes, I just quoted
Rihanna) if you send in a generic resume that you didn’t tailor to the job
offer? You can’t. Plain and simple. I know, you probably think that
tailoring a resume is a difficult and time-consuming process. Here’s what
I have to say to you – no, no it is not. Not if you make a good use of the
infographic by Uptowork – Your
Resume Builder below and use the following tips:

Spokesperson
for LG Electronics, Mrs. Blessing Obiesie told journalists at the event
held in Lagos that the initiative was formed by the need to make more customers
enjoy value durability on major LG products; a feat that was once the
exclusive preserve of premium customers.”
She said:
“ Prior to now, we had warranty of two years on our products. But for some of
our premium ones such as the big sized freezer, and the big Air Conditioners,
the warranty was 10 years. Right now, we have extended the 10-year warranty to
smaller products like the refrigerator, small freezers, microwave, vacuum
cleaners and washing machines.”
Her words
,” This campaign is to tell our customers that apart from premium customers
enjoying this warranty, average customers will now enjoy a whole lot of
products.”
Continuing
she said: “The prices remain the same. LG as a brand is set to give its
customers value for product bought via durability and through cost
effectiveness by making the products affordable to all customers.”
