A Non Governmental Organisation Global Impact for Rural Innovation Foundation Bauchi has trained graduates on how to develop a curriculum vitae and cover letter to facilitate work interviews.
The training, which took place in Azare town of Bauchi state, brought 43 graduates from across the state.
Northern Regional Coordinator, Global Impact for Rural Innovation Foundation, Ahmed Sani Ahmed said the training is
to equip the participants with the knowledge and skills needed in packaging a rich CV and cover letters needed for job application and interviews.
“These days it is part of the requirement from organisations to ask for cover letter alongside CV for job applications which most graduates find difficult to develop. So, this training has presented to the participants the differences between CV and Resume”.
” As graduates in the labour market they must understand what is needed from them when applying for jobs .
Ahmed said participants had practical sessions which exposed them to the basics of CV and cover letter writing.
“I am happy to note that all 43 participants left the training with a well packaged CV and cover letter ready for any job interview”.
Global Impact for Rural Innovation Foundation organised the training in partnership with Queen Amina Innovation centre.
