CV Writing Tips

By Kennedy Omondi,

I am looking for a job with an NGO but structuring my career objectives that puts out my goals and capabilities is a problem. Kindly help.” Says Judy Kwamboka via email.

When it comes to job search it is important that as a candidate you have a well defined purpose. This is best reflected in the Objectives/ Carer Goal/ career statement.

Therefore, it is important to structure this in the best way possible to suit your potential employer.
Here is how to make the best of your CV objective if you are looking for an NGO job.

How To Write A Career Objective For An NGO Job

1. For College Students.
For applicants with no professional experience or a college degree, it is important that you focus more on your general traits, character, personality, and work ethic.

This is applicable to candidates seeking to land an entry-level job, volunteering, or internship. Emphasize on what would make you a valuable employee. For instance:

“Hard-working student with proven leadership and organizational skills, and minute attention to detail. Seeking to apply my abilities to fill the internship role in a busy NGO. I am a dedicated team player who can be relied upon to help your organization achieve its goals. “

2. For Graduates.

For Graduates that have just completed their education and are seeking recruitment. Emphasis should be placed on the skills that you have, educational background and the experience from the short internship stint.

Recent graduate with a BA in Mass Communication seeking an entry level position in communication where my strong analytical and problem solving skills will be well utilized.

A Public relations degree and internship experience in advertising provide a solid basis on which to build my communication experience and contribute to your organization.

An enthusiastic and results-orientated individual with a strong work ethic, I am committed to proving myself a valued employee.”

3. For Professionals.
As a professional, one has several years of experience and all you seek is career advancement to a more senior role, the main aim here either to move to a better working environment, transfer jobs, earn more money, or attain a managerial role. Therefore, your Career Objective will need to reflect whichever reason you have in as far as your career is concerned.

Since you want to move into an NGO, it will be advisable that you mentions briefly the number of years of work experience you have, the chosen industry, and the types of duties you filled. Put emphasis on past relevant roles you have played. In addition, mention the most recent level of education only.

“Finance Officer with 4+ years of experience of preparation of all financial statements, invoices, proposals, updating financial records and account administration.
Aiming to use my proven financial and administrative skills to effectively fill the project coordinator role in an NGO. Possess an MBA.”

Keep in mind that NGO will always seek to recruit candidates that have a more related experience in the same industry.

So stress on these skills and experiences ranging from volunteer work, internships or any related duties.
