Do not include your age or a photograph except expressly requested to do so.

 

  • Have you written a summary of your profile? – Your should consider making the next line after your heading a summary of your profile. It should be direct and a reflection of the role applied for and should reflect your most relevant experience to the job and your most relevant qualification. This could be skilled based or academic based qualification.

 

  • What is should be your priority in the body of your CV? – When you write your history, for an experience position, it sis important to start with your jobs experience followed by education qualification, while for fresh graduate jobs, you may consider starting with you educational qualification. Please remember put your most recent achievements first and in the order or relevance to the job you are applying for.

 

  • Are you wording professional? – You may consider using simple English words and sentences. The essence of a CV is to communicate your suitability for the Jobs Vacancy Careers in Zimbabwe you are applying for. You can sound professional without using jargon or ‘management-speak’. 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 considered the implication of what you have written or about to write? – For Jobs Vacancy Careers in Zimbabwe and other parts of Africa, you may consider not to talk about your social life unless your activities display an important skill such as leadership or teamwork or any skill that could relate to the role and boost your chances of getting the job.

 

  • 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.

What to Avoid; If the check list above proves to be helpful, why not spend more time to learn common pit fall in CV writing

 

Thins to avoid when writing a CV for Jobs Vacancy Careers in Zimbabwe

Jobs Vacancy Careers in Zimbabwe

 

  1. Spelling and Typographic errors– A big turn off to most CV reviewers and interviewer. Mistakes suggest to employers that you haven’t spent the time and effort on your application and that you lack diligence. Get someone to assist in proof reading your CV. sometimes it’s difficult to pick our own errors as our minds forces our eyes to overlook them.
  2. Don’t underrate any experience– present all valuable experience and capture the responsibility that ensures you utilised the required skills. remember your part-time jobs and internship programs but focus on the key responsibilities, skills and achievement
  3. Avoid sending a generic CV – ensure you read and understand the requirement for the role you are applying for and Taylor your CV to match the applied role. You may consider making specific CV for each application, tailored to suit the role.
  4. Avoid sending duplicates or multiple applications– sending duplicate or multiple entry could jeopardise your chances as you tend to make sorting difficult for the employer
  5. Avoid any negativity in your CV– learn to eliminate In words in your CV that comes across as negative terms. the technique is to turn every weakness into strength for instance when you address any adversity, present such “challenges” as triumphant. Consider to avoid using negative words such as “hate”, “argued”, “quit”, “ignored” or “tried” is best policy, even if they honestly reflect your personal feelings. Alternative suitable phrases would be “overcame”, “persuaded”, “re-approached” and “delivered” .

Vacancies at Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA)

The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) was established on 19 January 2001 as a successor organisation to the then Department of Taxes and the Department of Customs and Excise following the promulgation of the Revenue Authority Act on February 11, 2000.  The Commissioner General, Mr Gershem T Pasi, was appointed on May 1, 2001 and ZIMRA became fully functional on September 1, 2001.

Since then, ZIMRA has grown at a tremendous pace and has put in place client-centric strategies for the convenience of the transacting public. In an effort to improve its operations, more stations (both permanent and temporary) have been opened nationwide. New border posts have also been opened since 2001 and these include Mphoengs, Sango and Maitengwe while Chirundu is now a one stop border post under the auspices of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA).
