CV advice & CV help – Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway & more
When I review CV’s for jobseekers the big mistakes are obvious such as lack of focus, poor format, not selling the owner and poor content.
Ok – you can excuse jobseekers for these mistakes as they are not experts. But you cannot excuse jobseekers for the basic bloopers.
Here are some common basic mistakes you should avoid.
Misspellings & poor grammar – Ok you have a Degree but if you spell it “Degre” you will not make the impact that you want.
Chronological order (Reverse) – Employers want to read the newest stuff first.
Contact details – It will help the employer of they can contact you. I am amazed the number of CV’s I read with wrong phone numbers or email addresses.
Email address – Let’s be sensible about this. Blondandsexy@hotmail.com may not make the impression that you want.
