Keep your writing clear, simple direct and focused. Remember that the person looking at your CV might not be an expert in your field.
- Are you Words Focused? – Try to write your CV using as few words as applicable, this way you’ll keep to the point and avoid goofing around. You can say more in your cover letter and application form, there’s no need to go into depth in a CV.
- Is Your CV Generic?– You may consider not to overlook is the importance of tailoring your CV to each job application. Although you only have a limited amount of space and time to highlight your abilities on your CV though. So it’s expected you’ll want to shift certain aspects to the front, emphasising the more relevant details. Within this you could also try to work in particular keywords used in the original job advert. Your description of certain experiences also might require a new perspective depending on the job you are applying for.
- Is your CV too Long? – A quick suggestion is to make your CV’s length relative to your work experience: A one page or two page maximum for graduate trainee should be considered; if you have many years experience in a wide range of roles, you can justify a long CV. Academic CVs may usually be up to 4-5 pages long, whereas CVs tailored to the private sector should be about 2 – 3.
- Are you Active or Passive ? – The use of past tense of participle gives a better perspective to your achievement. Use ‘doing’ words on your CV such as ‘developed’ or ‘organised’. This makes you sounds active and not passive. Adopting the right tone makes you sound confident and Employers not only want to hear about your relevant successes but also why and how you’ve achieved them. This however does not mean over-stating how great you are without any substance or Wordy jargon or buzzwords like “highly-motivated” or “team-player” are hollow in isolation as every CV uses them. So your aim should be to stand out by giving facts and figures – hard evidence that speaks for itself.

- Have you provided Referees? – Don’t forget to provide names and contacts of your referees; at the minimum two referees should be provided if not specified in the Jobs Vacancy Careers advertisement and one should preferably be your current employer.
- Have you proof read you CV? – Mistakes are common in writings; and for CVs, you may come across as being lazy or unprofessional which could be a turn off to the CV reviewer. There should be no spelling, punctuation or grammar errors: unprofessional CVs are rejected. If you find editing your own work difficult, get a friend to read your CV. you may consider showing it to as many people as possible: your supervisor/mentor, colleagues, even your family and friends. Their first impressions will help you to improve your CV. A good technique is to constantly revisit and refine your CV. Over time and with experience, your technique for language will get better. Couple this to the natural self-confidence you develop during spells of employment and your CV should surely reflect that. Taking time to periodically re-read your CV and consider how you might describe yourself again today is essential. You might even feel compelled to write sections again, or approach the whole thing from scratch.
It’s all about refining what you say and how you say it in the most concise way, and you’ll be surprised how your perceptions here evolve.

Proposals in UNICEF Zimbabwe
UNICEF Zimbabwe is inviting proposals from individual international consultants for Technical Support in Harmonisation of Social Protection Programmes under the Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare, ZimbabweClosing date: Thursday, 2 March 2017
Job no: 503019 Work type: Consultancy Location: Zimbabwe Categories: Child Protection, Consultancy Pay Grade: Consultancy If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world’s leading children’s rights organization would like to hear from you. For 70 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children’s survival, protection and development. The world’s largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments. Background Social protection is considered a basic human and socio-economic right in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966). It helps to reduce the risks of socio-economic insecurities resulting from unemployment and poverty to individuals and society. It also helps households to better manage risks such as economic crisis and natural disasters that affect large segments of the population or idiosyncratic shocks such as retirement or illness that affect individual households. Social protection instruments generally rests on three pillars: (i) social assistance (social safety nets), such as cash transfers, public works programs, or fee waivers for basic services; (ii) social insurance, including old-age and disability pensions, health insurance and unemployment insurance; and (iii) labor market programs, such as skills-building programs, job-search and matching programs and improved labor regulations. Having a strong social protection system is important for a number of reasons. It improves resilience by helping people insure against different types of shocks as well as promoting equity by reducing poverty and destitution and promoting equality of opportunity. Well-designed social protection systems can promote opportunity by building human capital and assets, by promoting access to jobs, and by allowing households to make productive investment. Social protection also helps to cushion vulnerable groups against the effects of growth-promoting reforms Zimbabwe has most of the elements of a sound social protection system derived from a range of social protection instruments under each social protection pillar mentioned above. The effectiveness of these instruments has however been weak due to a number of reasons that include:
The ad hoc implementation of social protection highlighted above led to the Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare (MoPSLSW) with financial and technical support from UNICEF leading the process of national dialogue based development of a National Social Protection Policy Framework (NSPPF). The draft NSPPF is under cabinet consideration and has since passed a working party of Permanent Secretaries stage and is scheduled to be tabled before a committee of Ministers. The framework provides for coherent delivery of social protection programs with mechanisms for a coordinated approach to delivery. While the policy framework is being finalized, programs still remain uncoordinated and sometimes competing for scarce fiscal resources when more could be done to harmonize them and achieve greater impact through capitalizing on greater economies of scale. Introduction The NSPPF clearly identifies social protection instruments and pillars that constitute Zimbabwe’s social protection system. One of the key pillars is social assistance under which there are various programmes including the Harmonized Social Cash Transfers (HSCT), Public Assistance (PA), the Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM), health insurance through the Assisted Medical Treatment Order (AMTO), Drought Relief programmes and others implemented by civil society organizations. Globally available lessons learned and best practices show that single, unitary programme delivery achieves far less impacts compared to programmes that are implemented in complementarity. Thus UNICEF, under the Child Protection Fund II (2016-2020), aims to support the government to realize harmonization of various social assistance instruments and re-establish Zimbabwe’s national social protection system under the National Social Protection Policy Framework. Such harmonization will not only improve effectiveness of the country’s social protection system but also efficiency and value for money which is great plus considering the worsening resource-scarce programming environment. With a harmonized approach, there will be potential to achieve more sustained results both in the short and long-term, including savings on administrative costs. UNICEF in partnership with the MoPSLSW is therefore seeking a motivated qualified and experienced consultant to lead processes for the economic analysis of harmonization of existing social assistance programmes and propose a technical approach to their harmonization. Objective (s) The main objective is to carry out business process analysis of various social protection programmes managed by the Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare (MoPSLSW), followed by economic analysis of harmonization of the Ministry’s social protection programmes with a particular focus on the Harmonized Social Cash Transfers, Public Assistance and the Basic Education Assistance Module. Analysis should also include harmonization options with comprehensive assessment of opportunities and potential/feasibility for harmonization as well as a roadmap for operationalizing harmonization. The consultant is therefore required to prepare a technical paper on harmonization of the social protection programmes (with focus on HSCT, BEAM, AMTO, PA) looking at both financing and programme delivery/operational parameters. Methodology & Expected Output The consultant is expected to undertake a desk review of MoPSLSW social protection programme (with focus on HSCT, BEAM, AMTO, PA) documents, process reviews and impact evaluations in order to gain deeper understanding of the programmes and programming context. The consultant should also review the draft NSPPF and its implementation plan to be able to ‘position’ harmonization within the NSPPF context. At the same time, such harmonization effort should ensure full alignment with the recent initiative being taken by MoPSLSW to establish an integrated and scalable social protection MIS platform. For this, the consultant is expected to have discussion/interaction with the UNICEF MIS Specialist tasked to develop an integrated MIS design framework. Further, the consultant is expected to interview key personnel from the MoPSLSW, Ministry of Finance and other key government departments, agencies and relevant donor agencies. The key deliverable is an economic analysis of MoPSLSW-run social protection programmes (with focus on HSCT, BEAM, AMTO, PA) and a technical paper on programmatic and financial harmonization with a roadmap for operationalizing harmonization. Major Tasks Task: Submit an inception report outlining the methodological approach and initial literature review Deliverable: Inception Report and workplan Task: Thorough desk review & key informant interviews of the government social protection programmes (with focus on HSCT, BEAM, AMTO, PA) and their business processes. Deliverable: Detailed analysis of the existing management structures and business processes of the MoPSLSW’s social protection programmes (with focus on HSCT, BEAM, AMTO, PA) – and analysis of compatibility and ‘harmonization-ability’. Task: Consultations with government social protection focal persons, Ministry of Finance, UN agencies and the World Bank and any other relevant actors. Deliverable: Consultation report highlighting stakeholders views on harmonization and recommendations Task: Prepare economic analysis of harmonization and its options Deliverables: Report on economic analysis of harmonization Task: Consolidate all information for analysis and develop a strategy note/technical paper on harmonization of existing social protection programmes (with focus on HSCT, BEAM, AMTO, PA) – including Economic Analysis of proposed options. Deliverable: Social Protection Programmes Harmonization Strategy Note/ technical paper with economic analysis of proposed harmonization options Task: A consultation workshop with stakeholders to develop a roadmap for operationalizing Harmonization Deliverable: A roadmap to Harmonization – phased plan with timeline Task: Present the Social Protection Programmes Harmonization Strategy Note and Roadmap to the Child Protection Fund Steering Committee for validation Deliverable: Finalized Social Protection Harmonization Strategy Note + Roadmap (incorporating feedback from stakeholders) Timeframe The consultancy will begin 15 March 2016 and end by 31 October 2017.
