GENERAL CAREER TIPS

Resume/CV mistakes you need to avoid that sabotage your job search

1. One typical error is failing to personalize your resume or CV for the particular position or industry you’re looking for. Make sure to highlight your skills, experience, and accomplishments that are relevant to the job.

2. Leaving Out Important Details: Your resume/CV won’t be as effective if you leave out important details like your professional title, dates of employment, and major accomplishments.

3. It can be hard for hiring managers to read resumes or CVs that are cluttered or not put together properly, and they may not make the best first impression. Make sure your resume is neat, appropriate, and simple to read.

4. Inconsistent language and spelling mistakes can make readers question your attention to detail and your ability to speak clearly. Before sending your CV, carefully proofread it.

5. Exaggerating your abilities, accomplishments, or experience is a bad idea that hiring firms are likely to spot. Be sincere and accurately portray your accomplishments, but avoid using false or incomplete information.

6 Not Using Keywords: Employing keywords relevant to the position you’re applying for can get the attention of hiring managers and applicant tracking systems (ATS). In your resume, be careful to use relevant keywords from the job description for you to stand out.
