        secure external opportunities, as international organizations value volunteer experiences. If you have yet to volunteer, I advise you to look for
        opportunities in this regard.
        
        7. Skills & Endorsements Section
        Here, you need to list all the skills you have and ask those who know that you have these skills to endorse them, most especially, people with whom you
        work at present or worked in the past.
        
        8. Recommendations Section

        the past and work at present: your managers, supervisors, classmates business associates, business partners, CEOs, founders of companies and so
        on.
