CV/ Resume

 Recently, I was contacted by an applicant for a CV review, she just had her CV revamped but have not been getting invites. 

I went through the CV and it looked great at first glance but at a second, I saw a misconception.

Her professional summary says she is a "Seasoned Professional" in the field with track record doing some professional duties for an experience she does not have. 

When you say someone is a "seasoned professional" it means the person is an expert and has years of experience in that profession.

Dear CV Specialist,

In the bid to make a client appear as the best candidate for a role, please do not over-qualify them for a role they do not fit! Resumes don't get the job done, people do! 

A graduate with less than one year of experience in a profession is still learning, the resume should show career goals, diligence, teachability, learnability, skill-set, achievements, and knowledge acquired from internship/volunteer experiences. Make their Resume' show they are suited for entry-level roles and assisting roles so they can LEARN!.

Do not make an amateur, expert! in the bid to make a STAND OUT CV! Let's be skillful yet truthful in our resume writing. Magnify the Truth but do not tell a LIE!!!

CAREER CAPSULE (UTILIZING SKILLS AND TALENTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER JOURNEY)

 CAREER CAPSULE  "Instead of trying to be the best in the world at one thing, combine two skills where you’re in the top 25%." If you want an average successful life, it doesn’t take much planning. Just stay out of trouble, go to school, and apply for jobs you might like. But if you want something extraordinary, you have two paths: 1. Become the best at one specific thing. 2. Become very good (top 25%) at two or more things. The first strategy is difficult to the point of near impossibility.  The second strategy is fairly easy. Everyone has at least a few areas in which they could be in the top 25% with some effort. In my case, I can draw better than most people, but I’m hardly an artist. And I’m not any funnier than the average standup comedian who never makes it big, but I’m funnier than most people. The magic is that few people can draw well and write jokes. It’s the combination of the two that makes what I do so rare. And when you add in my business background, suddenly I
