These common CV errors could cost you the interview. Avoid them to improve your chances.
Typos and grammatical errors instantly signal a lack of attention to detail. Always proofread your CV—better yet, ask someone else to review it too.
Inconsistent fonts, cramped layouts, or hard-to-read text can make your CV frustrating to read. Keep it clean and professional with consistent spacing and clear headings.
One page is ideal for most entry-level roles. If you have experience, two pages are fine. Avoid going over two unless you're in an academic or senior role.
Using phrases like "hard-working team player" without examples doesn’t help. Tailor your CV to the job and include real achievements or experiences where possible.
It sounds obvious, but people do forget. Make sure to include your name, phone number, email address, and location (city/town is enough).
