Brief info about writing resume and CV 1- Your resume doesn't need to be fancy unless you're a designer. If you're not, a black-and-white resume is okay. 2- Picture: If you think you're good-looking, go ahead. If not, skip it to avoid bias, or skip it at all. 3- Basic info: Address, Contact No, Email, LinkedIn link. 4- Language: Don't use graphic bars or 🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢, state basic/intermediate/advanced. 5- Technical Skills: Same, no graphic bars, just basic/intermediate/advanced. 6- Soft Skills: Copy-paste the soft skills from job ads. For example, if the job ad mentions leadership, include it in your resume and other necessary soft skills. 7- Professional Summary : Just 1-2 lines, align it with company's mission and vision, but rephrase the sentence. 8- Education: If your KCSE mean grade is below B+ and you have gone to college/university, DON'T INCLUDE. 9- Experiences: If you don't have work or internship experience, you can include projects you did during your studies. Try to include only relevant experiences. And if you worked for only 1 or 2 months, don't bother unless it was project-based. 10- Achievements and Co-Curricular Involvement: Include only relevant ones. 11- References: Make sure to inform the person. And make sure they know you, especially lecturers because they have many students. 12- Keep your resume to 1-2 pages max. If you have extensive experience, you can switch to a CV format with up to 5-7 pages. 13- Include ONLY important/relevant information. Don't waste space and don't leave big gaps between sections. 14 - Once you've fixed your resume, you can check if it's ATS friendly or not, because nowadays many employers filter using the ATS system.

Interviewer: Do you have any questions for us? Candidate: Nope, I think you covered everything! 🚨 Mistake: Saying you have no questions can make you seem uninterested or unprepared. The interview is a two-way street. It’s also your chance to evaluate the company! ❌ What You Should Avoid Saying: 1. “No, I don’t have any questions.” → This makes it seem like you haven’t thought about the role or the company. 2. “How soon can I get a promotion?” → While ambition is great, this can come off as impatient if asked too early. 3. “What does your company do?” → This is something you should already know from your research! ✅ What You Should Say Instead: 1. “Can you tell me more about the team I’d be working with?” → Shows interest in collaboration. 2. “What are the biggest challenges someone in this role might face?” → Demonstrates that you’re thinking ahead. 3. “How do you define success in this role?” → Helps you understand expectations. 4. “What do you enjoy most about working here?” → Gives insight into company culture. 💡 Tip: Always prepare at least 3-5 questions. It shows you’re engaged, proactive, and serious about the job! For CV revamp, email your current CV via [email protected] with subject 'Revamp '
