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 />
