Welcome to Episode 9 of Career & Employability Talk with Segun Akiode.
This is a follow-up discussion to Episode 8.
This week’s episode is dedicated to answer a job seekers question – how does one write a professional CV?
To start with, the right mindset for writing a résumé or CV is that of a marketing mindset. You’re a product being sold to a potential employer and the goal of your résumé is to communicate your value (or what you can do) to the employer.

You have to see your résumé as a marketing tool because that is what it is; employers’ first impression about you.
Please note that your résumé or CV does not get you the job offer but it can get you an audience with a recruiter or a hiring a. That audience is an interview opportunity to defend the product called you and land a job.
When a recruiter or hiring manager looks at your CV, your CV must pass the ’30-secs recruiter/hiring manager check’.

Great podcast sir. I honestly learnt somethings I did not know before. I have a question – Do you consider an applicant with less than a year’s worth of experience a fresh graduate and does he have to include a career objective on his CV?
Ayodeji, thanks for your comment. Glad you found the podcast episode of value to you. To your question, such an applicants with less than 3-years work experience are usually termed an early career applicant. All the best!
