A quick CV Check-list for Jobs Vacancy Careers in Zimbabwe

  •  Have you included your personal detail? – name, address, phone number and email Should be part of your heading. These are your main contact, without which a prospective employer will find difficult or impossible to contact you. People often forget them! 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” .

Accounts Officer vacancy-Zimbabwe 2016

Posted by on Apr 20, 2016 in Vacancies in Zimbabwe | Comments Off on Accounts Officer vacancy-Zimbabwe 2016

BACKGROUND
The Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) was created in April 1995 through the SADC treaty to optimise the use of available energy resources amongst the countries in the region and support one another during emergencies. At the time of creation, the SADC governments agreed to allow their national power utilities to enter into the necessary agreements that regulate the establishment and operation of the SAPP. SAPP membership was therefore restricted to national power utilities of the SADC member states as indicated in the Inter-Governmental Memorandum of Understanding (IGMOU). In the revised IGMOU of February 2006 SAPP-membership was also made possible for other Electricity Supply Enterprises.
The SAPP is funded by two sources: (i) Members annual subscriptions and this pays for the operations of the SAPP Coordination Centre in Harare and also for common SAPP capital projects, and (ii) Support from Cooperating Members – this helps to fund huge capital projects whereby the Cooperating Partners mostly provide soft grants for such projects. Of late, the SAPP is now also supported by income emanating from the SAPP competitive electricity market.
The SAPP income has become huge and needs a clear and proper financial management. The income from energy trading had increased into substantial amounts. The support from Cooperating Partners has also increased. The funds need to be managed.

2. DUTIES OF THE FINANCE OFFICER
The recruitment of the Accounts Officer has become necessary because of the following:
i. The Auditors have for several years now recommended the recruitment of an Accounts Officer to help the Finance and Administration Officer.
ii. The SAPP-CC is now operating several accounts including the following:
a. SAPP-CC Administration accounts,
b. SAPP-CC DAM accounts and other related market accounts, and
c. Donor accounts (AfDB, World Bank, Norway & Sida, and EU)
iii. The required Accounts Officer will concentrate more on the donor accounts and the Project Advisory Unit (PAU) accounts based in South Africa.
Page 2 of 3
iv. The incoming of the Accounts Officer will help to reduce financial errors and will enable her/him and the Finance and Administration Officer to be able to take leave where applicable.

 Processing staff loan applications and repayments
 Processing payments for the PAU offices requirements including salaries
 Maintaining the leave record for the PAU staff
 Administer the accounting for leave days, sick leave, etc.
