“All employees always ask for minimum of 2 or 3 years experience where do they want someone who has not had a job or have just graduated to get 2years experience from??”
We want to give you some tips on how to boost your CV to also apply for these jobs and also be considered for such openings even when you are a fresher.
1. Your IT experience
many people think that IT experience from the school is something they went through just to collect certificates but that’s not true. Your IT is your experience. write it down on your CV and detail everything you have done there in a concise, catchy way.
2. Your private Practice
For example, private coaching and teaching,or going to learn a particular skill, or a private skill you use to make money by the side is experience. You are employed and engaged in something and your CV should have it.
3. Help to Mum or relatives in their shop or trade
when we tell people this, they laugh about it but this is another major way to boost your CV. Package all that you have done with the duration and you got almost a year or years experience.
can you see that you have a lot of years that you have been neglecting? so do some thinking and reworking to your Cv and there you will be- applying as an experienced candidate.
4. Internship- in the Nigerian setting where there are more job seekers than available jobs, internship becomes an option. Don’t wait until you have a full time job, seek internship opportunities where you develop your career, earn little allowance, learn on the job and most of all, get experience to boost your CV. This is why we help as many people as possible who are ready to seek internship opportunities after getting them trained and their minds oriented towards it.
5. Volunteering- In Nigeria volunteering is being sneered at because it is termed “Job for free” But in that job for free abounds opportunities for growth and opportunity to discover yourself. Volunteering brings you personal satisfaction and even puts you ahead during recruitment and selection. organizations are beginning to think that people who can give their services free are worth hiring. A major way to boost your experience is via offering free services.
With this, we believe that we have been able to help fresh graduates to boost their experiences. candidates who would like to volunteer or serve as interns can indicate so on this thread. Also those who need help with repackaging their CVs with the experiences they have should also indicate on the thread.
