Top-5 Things You Should Avoid In Your CV

Sometimes we are so addicted with wanting to show our creativity, productivity and success in our CVs, that we can make some typical mistakes.

So look through yours once again to avoid these errors. 

Be sure, that there is no such things as:

1. Too personal info



Usually, it is enough to mention only your birth details, place of residence and probably a professional looking photo. Do not go so far as to mention such unnecessary details as the number of children you have, what church you attend, the political party you support, etc.

2. Bad grammar and spelling mistakes



The majority of CVs that are gotten by recruiters online have some errors both spelling or grammatical. So read it carefully before sending. Or the best variant – give it to your wife, girlfriend, husband or best friend to proofread.

 3. Wrong work experience



Read the job description once more. Then take another look at your CV. If the position you are applying for does not require all your job experiences, then only mention the ones that are important to that particular position

Let you CV to show your best qualities.

4. Mentioning too many hobbies



Some CVs are ignored by HR-managers only because your e-mail address is unprofessional. So it is sad, but you should better avoid such e-mails as iloveicecream@blabla.com etc. Too many hobbies mentioned are not so great either.

Bauchi PDP Chieftain Endorses, Campaigns For Buhari. PDP Watch Your Back This Northern's Are Not To Be Trusted

A prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Bauchi State, Alhaji Hassan Mohammed Sheri, has openly canvassed for votes for presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd).



Sheri urged his supporters to queue behind the aspiration of the former head of state to become Nigeria’s president come 2015 general elections.

Sheri, said to be a close associate of the PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, described Buhari as the most credible among those aspiring to lead the country in the current dispensation.

He spoke at a press conference in Bauchi on Tuesday.

He described Buhari as “an exemplary leader”, a selfless leader, who maintained his integrity despite the various positions he has held in Nigeria.

“If it is for money Buhari would have amassed wealth more than any Nigerian because he had held other lucrative positions that many Nigerians were not opportune to, that could have enriched him”, he stated.

“Let me tell you categorically that I’m 100 percent in support of Buhari presidency come 2015 and therefore appeal to all Nigerians to ensure his victory at the polls”, he said.

Sheri, however, stressed that he remains a member of the PDP, despite his views.

A former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on Tuesday, said all the presidential aspirants on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, are far better than President Goodluck Jonathan.



“Any of the APC aspirants is better than Jonathan; whoever wins the party primary is better than President Jonathan”, Atiku said in Minna, Niger State at the public declaration of Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah for the presidency.

Describing the LEADERSHIP group founder as a “personal friend”, the former vice president, who is also seeking the presidential ticket of the APC, disclosed that he and the other four aspirants had agreed to back whoever emerges as the flag bearer during the primary election in order to bring an end to the Jonathan administration.

He added, “We are united. We have resolved to support whoever emerges. We are not fighting each other; that is why I am here today. Our target is to rescue the country from the misrule of the PDP”.

The former VP, who earlier received a backlash from the Presidency over his comment that the worsening state of insecurity could be attributed to a leadership deficit in the country, decried the state of the nation under the PDP, saying that it had been grounded to a halt.

I Would Rather Watch Grass Grow Than Watch BBA: Vera Sidika

It’s now clear that a lot of people are now bored out by the annual reality TV show — Big Brother Africa.
This time, it’s controversial Kenyan model, Vera Sidika that has something to say about the show.



Vera has described watching ongoing popular reality TV show, BBHotshots, as a waste of her precious time after tagging the continental show as ‘boring’.

With Kenyan representatives, Sabina Stadler and Melvin Alusa evicted from BBHotshots, the video vixen has condemned the two contestants for falling to prove themselves and make their country proud.
In a recent article published on Nairobi Wire, the curvaceous Vera, widely known for flaunting her b**bs, said:‘Kenyans don’t have strategy; they just go like if they are going to the market to buy onions and tomatoes. Prezzo had strategy, BBA is a game. You need a game plan; you need to be very calculative. Most contestants just go freestyle.’

Not done, she added: ‘I have studied Kenyans and realized, Kenyans don’t give a f..k if you’re not a celeb, they will only watch u if you are somebody, look at Prezzo’s year, almost everyone watched, even Uhuru talked about him. Controversial people give you the urge to watch and see what they will do next, his or her lifestyle, how does he sleep, eat, shower, get dressed e.t.c.

‘I would rather watch grass grow than watch BBA. So boring, they are old housemates and ugly, you don’t even want to watch shower hour.’
