Tailor Your CV in 5 Minutes for Nigerian & Remote Roles

Applying with the same CV for every job leaves recruiters to do all the matching. This quick method helps you craft a targeted CV in just five minutes for both Nigeria-based and remote positions. 1. Paste the job description into a note and highlight 8–12 keywords (tools, role title, skills). 2. Match the exact role title in your CV header (for example, “Customer Success Associate” instead of “Sales/Support”). 3. Rewrite your Professional Summary in two lines using 3–4 of those keywords. 4. Update two bullets in your latest role to showcase keywords with numbers and scope. 5. Add a Skills line listing only the tools you know from the job description. Use this bullet template: - [Action] + [Tool] + [Scope] + [Result] (number) Example: Improved loan onboarding with Excel and Google Forms, cutting turnaround from 3 days to 1 day. If you share the job title and three of your current bullets (no personal info), I’ll demonstrate how to tailor them.
