10 Common CV Mistakes<br />
Did you know the average time recruiters<br />
spend analysing a CV is: 5 to 7 seconds?<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are too many myths and false ideas<br />
about what your CV should include. Ensure<br />
those precious seconds allow you to stand<br />
apart from the rest. Make sure your CV is<br />
top-notch by avoiding these top 10 CV<br />
mistakes.<br />
1. Too focused on Job Duties<br />
One of the most common CV mistakes is to<br />
turn your CV into a dull list of job duties and<br />
responsibilities. Instead you should:<br />
• Demonstrate how you made a difference at<br />
each company<br />
• Provide specific examples of how the<br />
company benefited from your performance<br />
2. Objective Statement that is Too<br />
General<br />
• Many candidates lose their readers from<br />
the very beginning of the CV with their<br />
objective statement<br />
• Consider using a tagline which is a<br />
statement of what you do or what your<br />
specialty is<br />
3. Too Short or Too Long<br />
• Don’t try and squeeze everything onto one<br />
page because you’ve heard that a CV<br />
should never be longer than one page.<br />
That’s a myth!<br />
• Don’t ramble either, your reader will get<br />
bored and give up<br />
• Only include information about yourself that<br />
will get you an interview<br />
4. Use of “I” and “Me”<br />
• CVs should be concise<br />
• Don’t refer to yourself in first person<br />

5. Listing Personal or Irrelevant<br />
Information<br />
• Only include your hobbies and interests if<br />
they relate to the job<br />
• Personal information such as date of birth<br />
and marital status don’t need to be included<br />
6. <strong>The</strong> Layout<br />
One of the most effective CV formats is the<br />
modified chronological type. Here is the basic<br />
layout:<br />
• Header (name, address, email address,<br />
phone number)<br />
• Objective Statement or Tagline<br />
• A strong profile section (detailing your<br />
experience and skills)<br />
• Reverse chronological employment history<br />
(nothing past 10-15 years ago)<br />
• Education<br />
• Only list hobbies/community activities/<br />
memberships if its relevant to the job<br />
7. Not Including a Profile Summary<br />
• A profile summary should demonstrate the<br />
skill level and experiences directly related to<br />
the position<br />
• To create a high-impact summary statement,<br />
read numerous job adverts to determine<br />
what features are important to employers<br />
• Write a list of your matching skills,<br />
experience, and education. <strong>The</strong>se selling<br />
points should be incorporated into the<br />
summary.<br />
