Best Free Sample CV For NGO Jobs In Kenya 2017

By now you know the importance of tailoring your CV to match the kind of job you are applying for.

According to Ms. Melody Mwendwa, a Professional CV Writer and Career Coach at Corporate Staffing Services, sending in generic CVs only portrays you as lazy and ignorant.

And that being the case, I know so many of us want to work for an NGO basically due to the flexible working hours and the hefty salary packages.

As you would have it, landing a job at one of the top NGOs in Kenya is not necessarily a walk in the park. You need to really stand out if you are going to have a shot at the coveted jobs in Kenya.

If you are in the process of applying for an NGO job, I challenge you to take a look at your CV. If it is the same CV you have been using to apply for other jobs, you need to rethink your choices in life.

There is so much competition for the jobs in the NGO sector that you really have to stand out from the pack. Your application needs to be above the cliché that every other job seeker is submitting.
