CVs Don’t Tell Full Story

Hiya!

July last year, a senior HR manager requested that I assist with reviewing her CV, stressing that I had an eagle eye that could spot its hidden flaws quickly.

She was concerned that she hadn’t been able to better articulate her profile and achievements as contained in the CV compared to her experiences over the years.

She got an interview invite after submitting the revised CV; and… well, she got the job!

My point is not on the job offer, rather it is to say this:

Hiring Managers,

Applicants have a lot more to offer than what you view on their CV. Kindly bear this in mind biko, ejo, please.
