APPLYING FOR JOB IN AREAS DIFFERENT FROM YOUR FIELD OF STUDY

APPLYING FOR JOB IN AREAS DIFFERENT FROM YOUR FIELD OF STUDY

With my little experience, I have discovered that many people work in organizations different from their course of study from higher institution.

Why?

After searching for job here and there and job seeker can’t find any position that relates to his discipline, they then accept any offer inorder to make ends meet. If you are in this category or you want to apply for any job that is not in your field of study, PLEASE NEVER put your academic qualifications before/ahead your experience. Let your working experience be the first.

Why?

Because by the time the HR go through your CV, and discovered that your course of study doesn’t go with the advertised job, he or she loses interest in going through your CV and therefore dump your cv somewhere. But if you put your experience in that advertised position ahead your academic qualifications, the HR would have been impressed and he won’t even mind your qualifications when he gets there because he knows you can perform.

Have a great day and a successful job search
