What Ghana recruiters expect

Ghanaian CVs follow modified British convention: 2 pages, reverse-chronological, English. Career Objective conventional for entry-level; replace with Professional Summary for 3+ years. References section traditionally listed at the end (full contact details for 2 referees). Photo optional — increasingly omitted for senior/private-sector roles, retained for public-sector and graduate-trainee applications. Strong outbound corridor to UK / US / Canada — same CV usually adapted for both Ghanaian and diaspora applications. National Service Scheme experience listed prominently for fresh graduates.
