CV questions, answered
Should I tailor my CV for each job?
Yes — this is the single biggest improvement you can make. Read the job advert, note the exact skills and words it uses, then mirror them in your summary, experience and skills. One tailored CV beats ten identical ones.
How long should my CV be?
One page is enough for most roles, especially if you are early in your career. Two pages is fine once you have several years of experience — but only if every line earns its place. Cut anything that does not help you get this specific job.
Should I include a photo on my CV?
It is not required for most jobs in Nigeria, and many recruiters prefer a CV without one. Your skills, results and contact details matter far more than a photo — leave it out unless the job advert specifically asks for one.
What if I have no work experience yet?
Lead with your education, then add projects, volunteer work, internships, freelance gigs or anything where you solved a real problem for someone. Recruiters care about proof you can do the work — a small project with a result beats a blank experience section.
