Know your grades exactly. Schools use different scales: many Nigerian universities use a 5-point scale, while colleges in the United States commonly use 4.0. Your CGPA is a weighted average, so a high grade in a big unit course moves it more than the same grade in a small one. Work it out each semester and you will always know where you stand, and what you need next term.
Keep your CV short, honest and easy to scan. One page is plenty for a recent graduate, two for most experienced people. Lead with a few lines about what you can do, then list experience with achievements rather than duties: "organised a careers fair for 300 students" says more than "member of events committee". Never claim a qualification or job you do not have. Employers check.
Use a sensible email address and a simple signature, and name your CV file properly, such as Ada-Obi-CV.pdf, rather than CV-final-final2.pdf. Ask two people who know your work, such as a lecturer or a former supervisor, whether they will act as referees before you list them. Small details like these tell an employer you are careful before they have read a single line.
When an offer comes, look at the whole picture. A monthly salary can look very different once you see it as an hourly rate, and allowances, transport and working hours all matter. Ask politely for anything that is unclear, and get the final offer in writing before you resign from anything else.
Use the scale and grade points in your own school's handbook. Scales differ between countries and even between schools, and the calculator lets you choose the one that matches.
One page is usually enough for students and recent graduates. Two pages is common for experienced people. Recruiters skim, so keep it clear and relevant.
It breaks your pay into time periods. Tax and deductions depend on your country and circumstances, so check your payslip or your tax authority for those figures.
