CV Writing Tips for Job Seekers [EPISODE 9] #Podcast

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?

When a recruiter or hiring manager looks at your CV, your CV must pass the ’30-secs recruiter/hiring manager check’.
