SEVEN COMMON MISTAKES IN CV WRITING
Typo errors: Spelling mistakes can leave a poor impression. So your CV proof read by someone to remove such errors.
Factual mistakes: Incorrect tenure in an organization, faulty name of chronology of experience, can all lead to misunderstandings.
Long flowing sentences: This distracts the scanning eyes of a recruiter due to the limited time they allot to reading CVs.
Formatting: The size & type of font chosen can have an impact on the readability.
Incorrect contact information: This being the second most critical data after your experience & skills, has to be correctly presented. Mention both present & permanent addresses with direct contact numbers.
Lack of objective/focus: Unclear objectives can leave a recruiter guessing which field or type of job you are interested in. A great objective statement clearly defines your career goal aligned with the job you are targeting for.
Length: The CV should be descriptive enough to explain what your key skills are, yet short enough to retain interest of the recruiter.
