This May Be The Reason Your CV Doesn’t Earn You An Interview by JobAffairs(m): 7:44am On Nov 14, 2018
Many people are getting frustrated by their job search efforts because they apply to several job openings and they don’t get interview invitations.

Your CV may just be the stumbling block to your success.

The CV depicts who you are on paper. If you don’t look good on paper, there are high chances that you won’t be a better candidate for the job.

The following may help

1. Your CV has typographical and grammatical errors. This is not forgivable.

2. You don’t highlight your achievements in measurable terms.

3. Poor CV structure; the recruiter should be able to see what makes you a good fit in 6-10 seconds.

4. Copy and paste from other people’s CV.

5. Putting irrelevant information first.

6. Including information that may work against you e.g Low grades, the age for roles with age requirements

7. Your CV is too long. Your CV shouldn’t be too long, e.g a fresh graduate should have a one-page CV.

8. Stating an address far from the job you are applying for. Some recruiters prefer candidates within close proximity.

9. Funny email address. E.g sexydiva@ muscular6packs@

Check your CV to be sure the above are fixed but you can get a professional to help you if you can’t.

The major reasons are :
"THERE ARE NO JOBS"
"YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS"
"YOU DON'T HAVE THE REQUIRED EXPERIENCE"

People without cv are getting juicy jobs everyday, getting an unpaid industrial attachment to gain work experience is even becoming a difficult task.

There are no such things as

"THERE ARE NO JOBS"
"YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS"
"YOU DON'T HAVE THE REQUIRED EXPERIENCE"

All you need is the RIGHT INFORMATION and that cannot come to you with your current MINDSET.
