Jobs in Lagos- Recent and current Lagos jobs

Resume writing has nowadays come to become one of the most important job seeking services. As a vital part of your preliminary selection process, resume acts as a letter of introduction that helps your prospective employer to decide whether or not to give you an opportunity to demonstrate your job skills. Thus, your resume can be termed as a clearance document that gets you through the entry level assessment of your entire selection process.

Resumes are always accompanied by a cover letter, also known as a job application letter in certain countries. Cover letter covers the objectives of your resume and the purpose of your interest in a particular post. Cover letters are smaller in size than resume or CV and ideally extend only up to a single page. There are certain exceptional jobs in which cover letters as well as the entire resume runs for pages. This is seen mostly in case of academic, administrative and research jobs. Now these are the kind of jobs that requires detailed profiling of the candidate and his degree of eligibility. Detailed CVs (Curriculum Vitae) are furnished along with a comprehensive cover letter for high level posts in such industries. Cover letters hold special importance in several of these jobs, especially for academics.

The proposed candidates for academic and faculty jobs are examined by several levels of authorities in a college or university and they pass through several hands before they reach the final recruitment department. And most of these authorities only go through the cover letters if the resumes are marked eligible by the previous department that has already sanctioned the applicant’s candidature. They have hundreds of applications to go through, so it is highly probable that they check the resumes of only those applicants who seem fit according to their cover letter standards. Another reason for this practice is that an academic cover letter is expected to be more elaborate than the usual ones used for other jobs.

Academic jobs generally include job of a faculty or teacher, trainer, university level researcher etc. The qualities and qualifications required for each of these jobs are interchangeable or same. It basically calls for more leadership and disciplinary qualities. So, your cover letter should include all the important events in your academic history that highlights you as a perfect candidate for the advertised post. These events include your ranks, honors, awards, special training courses, exceptional merits and scholarships. An academic cover letter can be stretched up to 2 pages. They should be divided into suitable sections and the topic headers should be highlighted in each paragraph. Always refer to a handful of cover letter samples before drafting your final one.

You can also seek help from superiors and professors in your college in this regard. Nothing can benefit you more than their expert opinions drawn out of long years of experience. However, your cover letter should always be smaller than your resume or CV and their objectives should be identical. You can find great academic cover letter samples in various resume writing websites or academic job forums.

If you are studying for the math portion of your upcoming Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery or ASVAB exam, you will likely be faced with many mathematical calculations that at first glance appear to require either a calculator (which is not allowed) or a long hand-written form of calculations to get the answer. My goal is to show you, not only how to simplify the math process, but also to show you a few mathematical tricks. In particular, this article will focus on multiplying numbers that end in zero

If you are faced with an ASVAB style question that asks you to multiply two medium or large numbers, for example 22 times 37, you may find yourself wasting too much time with pen and paper. If instead you simplify the numbers to the point where your calculations are significantly shorter, you will find that you have more time to complete both the Mathematics Knowledge (MK) and Arithmetic Reasoning (MR) sections

Take a look at your most recent sample exam practice problems and answer choices. Look at the answer choices given. The numbers provided are not so close to each other that a perfectly accurate calculation is required. Instead the numbers will be far enough apart that even with a few rounding and estimations your answer will still be close enough to just one of the answer choices.

With the above example, instead of calculating 22 times 37 the long way, we can round each number to the nearest unit of 10. Since 22 is very close to 20 we round it down. And 37 is very close to 40 so we round it up.

Now we have a new example that reads 20 times 40. Once again you have the option to calculate these the long way, which will still be faster or you can take this one step further and actually do the math in your head

How?

Isn’t the number 20 really just 2 times 10? And isn’t the number 40 really just 4 times 10? If we think of two digit numbers ending in zero as the number times 10, we can simply these problems from requiring a calculator, to not even needing pen and paper

Instead of 20 times 40 we now have a problem that reads 2 times 10 times 4 times 10. Multiplication allows us to rearrange the order of the numbers, so let’s look at this example as 2 times 4 times 10 times 10.

Doesn’t this suddenly look so much simpler? 2 times 4 is 8, and 10 times 10 is 100. That leaves you with 8 times 100 which is 800.

The actual answer for 22 times 37 is a very close 814. Since the ASVAB won’t give you choices too close to the actual answer, 800 will still be the closest value. Was it worth doing all that extra math for a difference of 14?

Everyone knows how to pen down a resume, but very few have the expertness at the art of framing the important document in its right format. A resume is the first thing a potential employer looks at, at the time of interview and thus, the same needs to be a power-packed one.

This article would give you steps on how to make that desired resume so that I can click for you at the right time.

We shall also include what steps not to be taken when going for wiring a resume.

Let’s first now what is meant by resumes?

A resume is the first document that’s presented to a recruiter when a perspective candidate goes for the job opening. This crucial document includes information from the job-seeker pertaining to educational qualifications, previous job experiences in his respective fields, projects, personal information.

Mostly formal resumes are needed to be churned out by the candidates, but once in a blue moon, the perspective job-seeker can also go for that glossy resume especially for animation and related job, respectively.

Let’s see some vital points to transform your ordinary resume to extraordinary one.

1. First things first! Firstly you need to enlist your contact related information like full name, full addresses (permanent and temporary), contact numbers and off course your e-mail address.

2. Then comes the turn of educational credentials to be included. Include whatever degrees you had undergone. Making sure of not including anything below your middle school adds new fervor to your resume.

3. After correctly pointing out your educational qualification list, mention all the experiences you have previously and also mention about any project work undergone too.

4. Enlist all your hobbies, and awards details if any.

5. If your potential resume is more than one page, make sure you top up your full name on every page.

6. Also make sure you take out the resume on a good quality paper as it makes the same as good looking.

These are the simple steps to be included in your resume.

Now let’s see the vital aspects of designs and graphics to be included in your resumes to make it more appealing.

1. Graphics- Graphics’ inclusion in resume is important to make it look good. However, you do that over the top and are prepared to be rejected.

2. Colors- The correct use of colors in a resume will be enough to hold the attention of a potential recruiter. Make sure you don’t use glossy colors. Avoid bright colors. Remember you are not making a paper piece. Make sure the usage sober colors only.

3. Designs- Avoid designing your resume more abruptly and avoid making it look like a more of a filmy poster than a curriculum vitae.

You can use the designed resumes only when you are seeking a job at an animation Inc or more of media related job but strictly and not over the top. Always remember that balancing things is the key to success.

In order to draw parallels from other resumes, pertaining to going for noble examples, a potential candidate can go for free resumes over the internet and see their resume formats. These resume templates available over the internet or various resume related guide books shall act as a good resume example to make your that way to win the desired attention of your perspective potential job provider, respectively.

We saw some vital points of resume making. Now let’s see what points not to be included, avoided, taken care of, and kept in check while laying down a resume.

Numerous authors have given their versions as to how to write a resume. But, we will not follow the contemporary methods but suggest what not to include while penning down a resume for any kind of jobs.

Let’s have a bird’s eye view of those essential points which needs to be avoided in resume writing

1. Nothing new to offer- This is a common problem applicants faces as they lack creativity and because of this primary reason end up making their resume old fashioned. Students must try to figure out the same & work on this so that they are able to use their creativity to improve the overall personality or any kind of resume.

2. Boring same old style resume- In order to bid adieu to these problems, one must look out for resume on the internet to take out a general idea as to how to adopt newer methods of presentation of simpler things in a more vivid passion.

3. Monotonous- Don’t be boring in telling info about your resume as it casts a bad impression on the other person. Be superlative and follow a distinctive writing patter. The ability to make a simple sentence attractive and catchy a perspective job seeker must know.

4. Childish- Please avoid childish writing and be a mature writer. Improve your vocabulary and use it vehemently. At the same time, make sure of not using a too loud or hi-fi language. Be balanced.

5. Very Bold- As we told not to be too bold because it presents to the employer that you are trying to show off.

6. Very Loud- Keep the language simple and keep your thoughts & at the same time present being on the ground zero.

7. Too lousy- This happens to candidates who don’t have much command over their respective fields of knowledge and lack confidence and because of the same end up being projected as fools. Be sharp and direct.

Work on your layouts, presentation styles, the language and most importantly being simple is the key to hold the attention of your potential employer, respectively.

Work on these above scripted pints and you would be able to draw more praises and jobs than flacks and rejections from your potential perspective employer.

Conclusion

People make huge hoopla of how a resume should be like and not able to control their anxieties and land up rejected. However, in order to get going and make yourself selected for the applied jobs, it’s important to just follow simple but crucial points just like those we have tried to cover in this pivotal article.

Remember, be simple and mean what you really say in your resume. There shall not be differences in your written statements like objective in the resume and what in practical you act as.

Balance the things up and it’s a surety that you would upon following these above mentioned points would be able to not only win yourself the jobs applied but also take you altogether to a new level of self-reliance and excellence, respectively.

What Program is Right for Me?

If you’re not sure what program to enroll in, you may want to take a career aptitude test to determine your strengths.

You can find a variety of these tests online. Some of these tests can be taken for free, but some you may have to pay to take. You can also ask your local trade school or community college if they administer career aptitude tests to students.

Once you have determined your strengths, search for programs that rely on the skills you have to offer.

How Can I Apply?

The admissions process will be different for each school. Some programs may require you to provide more information, or submit additional applications.

Most career training programs will require you to have a high school diploma or GED before applying, though there are some programs that will accept individuals who do not meet this qualification.

The best thing to do is contact the admissions office of your local trade school or community college for more information regarding its specific application process.

How Long Does Training Last?

Depending on the school you attend and the program you choose, the length of your training may vary.

Most career training programs are short, and usually last between six months and two years. You should contact your local trade school or community college before you enroll to find out exactly how long it will take to complete the program you are interested in.

What Type of Degree Will I Receive?

If you attend a trade school (also known as a vocational school), you can expect to receive a certificate or diploma once you have completed your program.

Some community colleges also offer training for certain skilled trades. Training offered by community colleges usually takes the longest amount of time to complete (approximately two years), but you will receive an Associate’s Degrees when you graduate.

How Much Will Career Training Cost?

The cost of your training will vary according to the school you attend and the program you choose. However, training offered at community colleges is usually the most expensive.

Most schools have financial aid available for students who may not be able to pay for their education themselves. Financial aid usually consists of grants and loans. Some schools may offer scholarships to a few exceptional students.

Remember, it is always good idea to save your money to pay for school. This will allow you graduate debt-free with no student loans to pay back.

Is Career Training Offered Online?

Some schools may offer online classes for some of their programs. If so, instructors will post all lecture material and assignments to a designated online site that allows students to log in and work at their own pace.

Online courses may be beneficial for some students, such as those enrolled in information technology programs. For the majority of students, however, in-class instruction will provide much more help.

Students who want to be trained as automobile mechanics or HRVAC technicians cannot learn the skills they need to succeed from a computer. The classroom setting will allow these students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the tools and equipment they will need to properly perform their jobs in the real world.

How Does Career Training Differ from a Traditional College Education?

One way that career training differs from a traditional college education is its absence of liberal arts classes.

Traditional college students must take a broad range of liberal arts classes to satisfy what most colleges refer to as “general education requirements.” English majors might take classes in Biology, while Engineering majors may take classes in Philosophy.

Students interested in pursuing job training at a trade school or community college, however, do not have to fulfill any “general education requirements” and can take only those classes that provide them with specific job-related skills.

In addition, the amount of time students need to complete training in a technical college is significantly less than the time needed to complete a traditional college education.

Students who enroll in a traditional college usually spend four years taking classes before they are able to graduate, while those who enroll in technical colleges often complete their training in about one year.

What Benefits Will I Receive from Career Training?

Students who enroll in a career training program will receive benefits such as:

• Hands-on classes


• Job placement


• Course variety


• Personalized study


• Practical schedules

In addition, completing a career training program will provide you with the skills necessary to help you separate yourself from other potential job seekers who do not share your level of expertise.

First things first, get your CV right.

A curriculum vitae (CV) can be used when:

• Replying to adverts which say send full details or ask for a CV (it pays to have more than one version if you are applying for more than one job type – to emphasize your different skills)


• When making speculative approaches to care agencies who are not currently advertising


• When an care agencies or a nursing home does not have an application form.

Not all employers accept CVs but if you do need to produce one you might find the following tips helpful.

1. Use good quality A4 paper (preferably white or cream).

2. Limit your CV to 2 pages.

3. Stick to the same format throughout.

4. It is optional to mention marital status, date of birth or nationality on a CV. Consider including a recent head a shoulders passport style photo

5. Highlight important information on the first page – this could be in a section headed skills or personal profile.

6.

Present your employment history in reverse order, starting with your

present or most recent job. As you go back in time you can be briefer

in your description of your duties.

7. When describing your duties use positive, action words such as achieved, organised, succeeded, managed, participated etc.

8.

Do not leave any gaps – even if you have had a long time out of the job

market, you may have undertaken community work or gained skills through

interests or home making.

9. Do not fold the finished document.

10. Keep a copy and amend it for each application as necessary.

Remember – Never send photo copies of your passport, driving license or give bank account information as identity fraud is all too common, only do this in person at an interview.

For telephone interviews

• Keep your CV in front of you to refer to


• Do your research on the job and make brief notes before the designated call time


• Have all medical and household questions about the client and family prepared.


• Know your travel routes / arrangements


• Ask how long previous Carers have been employed.

Finally when you get your job make sure you either

1. employed privately [http://independent-care.com/Employing-a-Carer.html] and have a Contract of Employment


2. Or, you become registered as self employed [http://independent-care.com/Self-employed-checklist.html]
