How to write a CV for employers in Ethiopia
Many Ethiopian employers do not ask for a cover letter, so the CV does all the work. In the NGO and international sector, language skills and measurable project results are what shortlisting panels look for first.
These are common practice, not rules. When an advert asks for something different, follow the advert.
- Language
- English or Amharic, depending on the advert. NGOs and international employers want English.
- Length
- 2 pages at most.
- Opening
- A short profile: who you are, years of experience, your sector, one strong result.
- Results
- Use numbers, e.g. "managed budgets of ETB 12 million across three offices".
- Layout
- Simple, mostly black on white. Ethiopian employers favour clean CVs.
- Languages
- State your level in Amharic, English and other Ethiopian languages clearly.
