🧠 Most Applicants Get Rejected Before They’re Even Seen — Don’t Make This Mistake
By now, you know:
- Which countries are hiring (Page 1)
- What they require (Page 2)
But here’s something most people never realize…
Your CV (resume) isn’t just a document. It’s your first interview.
And sadly, 90% of foreign job applicants are rejected not because they aren’t qualified — but because their CV:
- Doesn’t follow international formatting
- Fails to highlight key skills in the first 10 seconds
- Is too long or hard to scan
Here’s the good news:
You don’t need a professional writer.
You don’t need to overthink it.
You just need to follow a structure that works — one that employers abroad are used to reading.
Below is the exact format used by dozens of successful visa applicants from Nigeria, Kenya, India, and the Philippines.
✅ The “Abroad Job CV” Format That Works in 2025
Keep it clean. Keep it short. Keep it relevant.
🔷 1. Personal Info (Top of Page)
- Full Name
- WhatsApp Number (with country code)
- Professional Email (no nicknames)
- Country of Residence
- Visa Status (if any)
🔷 2. Short Summary (2–3 lines)
This is your first impression. Use this space to say:
- Who you are
- What you’ve done
- What you’re looking for
✅ Example:
“Experienced caregiver with over 3 years supporting elderly patients. Certified in first aid and home assistance. Open to relocation and ready to work full-time.”
🔷 3. Work Experience
List your last 2–3 jobs, even informal ones.
| Job Title | Company | Year | Country |
|---|---|---|---|
| Care Assistant | Loving Hearts Home | 2021–2023 | Nigeria |
Bullet Points:
- Supported daily living for 10+ patients
- Assisted with hygiene, feeding, and mobility
- Recorded patient updates and reported to nurse supervisor
🔷 4. Skills (Bullet Style)
Choose job-relevant skills:
- Basic healthcare / patient care
- Home cleaning / laundry
- English communication
- Record keeping
- Willingness to relocate
🔷 5. Education & Certification
- High School Certificate
- Basic Caregiver Training (if applicable)
- First Aid / CPR (optional but helpful)
