By doing that, the Career Incubator will be providing skills to the graduates and a platform to have an ongoing relations to enhance their life opportunities career wise. The Career Incubator is planning to have an Alumni Programme where learners and students who have previously enrolled in the programme will be utilized at a maximum level to strengthen the programme. These will be easily achievable because the programme will be established at some tertiary institutions’ campuses. The Career Incubator will provide for entry tertiary students until their final years support that addresses issues of employment, postgraduates and skills development needed by the market. The programme will also develop other attributes which are essential in human development stages of an individual along the way. The Career Incubator believes in professionalism and will maintain its stand as the programme grows its popularity in Youth Development and Job Creation.

Write a great CV

Break out of the pile with these simple tips:

Get the basics right:
Nobody cares how you did in Primary School, or the fact that you like to garden in your spare time. These things may become interesting points of discussion during your interview, but they have no place on your CV. Too much clutter and too much irrelevant information just makes your CV harder to read, and it therefore is less likely to get read at all.
Relevant educational information matters, as does relevant work experience and other forms of training and achievements. Keep it simple.

Read the ad and match your skills to the requirements
This is a great trick to fast track your application. If a company is looking for someone skilled in ABC and who has been trained in XYZ – and you match those requirements – make those the focal point of your application. You may be proud of the other aspects of your life and achievements, but that doesn’t mean the recruiter is. Make it as easy as possible for them to decide to interview you.

Forget the ‘reason for leaving’ nonsense
There is a recent trend which sees candidates explaining why they left their most recent places of employment, but in fact this is just a minefield. You inevitably are going to have to say “couldn’t see eye to eye” (read: you are a troublemaker) or “company made my position redundant” (read: you weren’t worth keeping). Don’t put it in and you don’t have to worry about it. If they want to know why you are no longer at ABC company, they will ask.

Keep it simple, and keep it short
This is a CV, not an essay writing competition. Keep it to two pages by keeping it simple. Only the most recent, relevant information. It is harder when you are are just starting out and the work achievements have not yet started rolling in.So you need to focus on what is relevant about that: your ability to focus, to commit, to excel, to go all out, etc.
Just remember to include your career history, your skills and strengths (and be specific about these), your awards and achievements and your contact details.

Include references and their contact details
The only way to really assess how great you are is to phone a reference or two. Since you are intent on being fully open and honest with your potential new employer, include these. Don’t bother with the ‘references are available on demand’ malarkey because it is not your recruiter’s job to chase you. Assume they want them and make it easy by including references from the start.
