What is an ATS - CV screening software - and why does it matter in Nigeria?
Most Nigerian recruiters — especially banks, oil & gas, telecoms, and multinationals — use an ATS - CV screening software (also called an Applicant Tracking System) - to filter CVs before a human ever sees them. A CV that's built for the ATS - CV screening software - uses clean headings, standard fonts, and relevant keywords so it doesn't get rejected automatically. Every CV from AiCVGenius is built to pass the ATS - CV screening software.
I'm a fresh graduate with no work experience. Can I still use this?
Absolutely. Our dedicated Fresher mode is built for recent graduates and NYSC members. Instead of work experience, it highlights your education, NYSC service, SIWES industrial training, internships, and transferable skills — exactly what entry-level Nigerian employers want to see.
What is the best CV format for Nigerian job seekers?
For most job seekers in Nigeria, the reverse-chronological format works best — it lists your most recent experience first and suits both fresh graduates and experienced professionals. AiCVGenius automatically structures your CV this way, with a professional summary, education, experience, and skills sections.
Can I download my CV as Word and PDF?
Yes. Once your CV is generated you can download it as an editable Microsoft Word (.docx) file to make further changes, or as a print-ready PDF to send directly to employers via email or WhatsApp.
Does it include NYSC and SIWES details?
Yes. AiCVGenius is built specifically for Nigeria, so it includes proper fields for NYSC (completed, in progress, or exempt), SIWES industrial training, and HND, B.Sc, OND, and SSCE qualifications — the credentials Nigerian recruiters expect.
