I've got two questions on my mind that I need to ask and I hope to get some helpful and positive answers....

(1) What are the UK based International NGO's one can volunteer with here in west Africa?

(2) I need an information on how I can easily get an international job without going through online websites to submit my CV's? 

I work as a Ramp Agent here in the west if Africa, but lost my job during the covid-19 pandemic, many companies laid off staff without benefits.

I need to get a job to enable me keep my body and soul together,  and also keep me going.

Looking forward to your very positive advice.

Thanks.

    Hi @amsofly

    In response to your second question, do you need any support with putting a CV together?  I know I found the idea of it daunting but CV's don't have to be lengthy and are a good way of catching employers attention and getting your name out there.

    This is a good website from Reed, an employment agency in the UK, that gives clear advice on how to construct one.

    Nope you make a good point.  My CV is two sides long and the first page definitely needs something to mark you out from other applicants.

    Hi all I agree most employers ow recruit online and expect you to submit a CV

    As an ex recruiter for many years no we dont read whole CV but look for any relevant points eg experience, qualifications, skills that meet the job requirement

    A good opening objective is key to make the employer interested in reading more

    Always look at the job requirements and dont apply unless you meet them as it is just a waste of your time and effort
