Job seekers today are been humiliated in one way or the other because of what they consider unimportant.
Human Resource departments and hiring managers generally have little patience for reading CVs. If you've not secure your desired job after graduation or long period of job search, consider reading this carefully.

1. Poor presentation
The presentation of your CV is equally as crucial as the actual content. You must be very careful and stick to a simple and professional layout.

We believe as many as one third of all candidates with excellent experience ruin their hopes with a poorly presented CV or resume, don’t let this happen to you!

2. Resume is the incorrect length

You will not gain credit for writing a 3000 word report. You will also fail to be successful if you choose to summarise your working life within one page. Every country has very different CV length criteria so it is important your CV or resume is prepared to their requirements.

3. CV fails to add any value

If your CV has been submitted and is similar to another 40 or 50 candidates, there is a likely chance that you will end up missing out and will never receive that all important phone call. Your resume must present the ‘WOW’ factor so it is your name that is at the top of the pile.

4. Bad spelling and grammatical errors

Your spelling and grammar should be perfect on every CV that is sent to a prospective employer. When you are in a hurry, mistakes are inevitable. When writing a CV or resume, great time and care must be taken in order to prevent silly mistakes.
