Introduction
Your CV is your first impression — especially when applying for jobs abroad. But most African job seekers use outdated formats or don’t highlight the right skills.
At Shali Global Services, we’ve helped clients land interviews in the UK, UAE, Canada, and more by rewriting their CVs to international standards. Here’s how.
What Recruiters Look For
- Clear summary of your experience
- Results, not just job duties
- Education and certifications
- Job-specific keywords
- Layout that’s ATS (Applicant Tracking System) friendly
CV Writing Tips
- Start with a 3–4 line personal profile — What you do, what you bring, what you’re looking for
- Use bullet points, not paragraphs
- Include metrics — “Increased sales by 40%”, “Managed 10 staff”
- Remove unnecessary personal info — marital status, religion, etc.
- Customize your CV for each job
