Let me tell you what a recruiter actually does when your CV lands in their inbox.

Because understanding this will change how you write every application.

First, they are looking at 200 CVs for one role. That means they are not reading. They are scanning. You have approximately 6 seconds before they decide to keep reading or move to the next one.

In those 6 seconds they are looking for three things:

- One; a company name they recognise. This is why we say the name on your CV matters. GTBank, Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, mention top tier companies. These names create instant credibility. They are shortcuts for "this person has been vetted by someone we trust."

- Two; a job title that matches what they are hiring for. If you were a "Customer Experience Specialist" but the role is "CRM Manager," your CV may never surface if they are searching by title. Mirror their language exactly. Your CV is not the place to be creative with job titles.

- Three; a number or result that stands out. "Reduced customer complaint resolution time by 60%" stops a scan cold. "Responsible for handling customer complaints" does not.

After the scan, if you survive, they read the last role in detail. Just the last one. Make sure it is your strongest.

Then they look at education and certifications. Briefly.

Then they check for gaps in employment dates. Have an answer ready for every gap. If you have changed jobs recently, prepare an explanation for it.

That is the entire process.

Now go back to your CV and ask yourself: does it survive a 6-second scan?

If the answer is no, nothing else matters.

Fix that first.

I got my appraisal scorecard this month,salary dropped and I rewarded myself with a pair of jeans for the work well done.
Na only me sabi the crashout and tears to get that result.

[Dearest B 🦋 @BlehisBack]

Reward systems work really well for me.

If I can get to this chapter, this page, or simply finish a task, I reward myself.

It doesn't have to be anything big. Sometimes it's just a chocolate bar. But somehow, it works every single time.

I’ll give you 10.

1. Buy a car before you build a house.

2. Start investing now. Even if it’s just ₦10,000 every single month. Give it 10 years and you’ll thank yourself.

3. Never spend money to please anybody. Spend only when it's needed. Know the difference between needs and wants.

4. Invest in your future, not in validation. Don’t buy the latest iPhone just so people can see you have money. A smartphone is a smartphone.

5. Live on 70% of your salary. The other 30% goes strictly into savings and investments. No excuses.

6. Stop womanizing. Find one good woman and stay loyal. Womanizing costs far more than you think.

7. Never engage in fraud. You’ll only destroy your future. Dirty money will cost you your peace and your health.

8. If you earn ₦100k a month, your rent should never exceed ₦100–150k. You shouldn’t have to save for months just to pay rent. One month’s salary (or one and a half at most) should cover it.

9. Invest in mutual funds.

10. Invest in good books. Read financial books. Here are 10 I recommend:
- The Richest Man in Babylon - George S. Clason

- Rich Dad Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki

- The Psychology of Money – Morgan Housel

- I Will Teach You To Be Rich – Ramit Sethi

- The Millionaire Next Door – Thomas J. Stanley

- Think and Grow Rich – Napoleon Hill

- Your Money or Your Life – Vicki Robin

- The Intelligent Investor – Benjamin Graham

- Atomic Habits – James Clear (money is built on habits)

- A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel

Above all, love God.

There’s no career route I’ll ask ChatGPT about that it will not tell me “based off your profile, you’ll be a very strong fit for this”. Werey just dey whine me dey go

My Mum: What about your friend? It’s been long i heard from her. How’s she?

Me: God giveth, and God taketh.

[OgaDInma @didizecks]

I can testify that this works !!!!

[JamesofGod @jamysax]

Not a bad one, and I get the dynamics of why they needed to do that.

Also, what worked for Min. Abbey is not what will work for you

Someone like me now, it cannot work, i go forget you mehnn😭😭😭

I know of emails that change people’s lives
One refresh, and all the months of efforts and waiting finally makes sense.
I need one of this or more before the year runs out.

[Oché @TweetsbyOche]

Oh to be disgustingly articulate! 💜

[Somadina @_summerdinner]

I like the fact that regardless of what I'm going through sleep must catch me

[DEDE! @minutesimal_]

I hope my life will be in a better place before I clock 30🥹

Nooo

Situationship is “we like each other so much but one person has commitment issues so one person is in a humiliation ritual trying to impress the one with commitment issues to fall in love one day and make things official”

Sneaky link is “we are linking secretly and we both don’t want to commit (mutual) but nobody can know we are linking, not even our friends”

You can make an academic comeback anytime.

[Dearest B 🦋 @BlehisBack]

May be a good time to speak about interviews. 😂

Every time I’ve interviewed with a Nigerian company, I can predict the outcome about 90% of the time. They just can’t hide it. 😂 You’ll read it in their countenance, their reactions, even their follow-up statements. You’ll just know you’ve yarned dust. And where you did well, you’ll know too.

But foreign interviews are never like that. They’ll compliment you throughout the interview.
"Oh, that was a beautiful answer."
"I really appreciate your knowledge of the technicalities required for this role."
"I can see you have the soft skills required to excel in this job”.
“I enjoyed chatting with you, looking forward to having you join the team”

The rejection email hits like crack. 😂

“I just wanted to hear your voice, that’s why I called.”

Bring back real chemistry and real lovers.
