The 5 unusual CV mistakes that can cost you the job Adapted from the Independent
It’s common knowledge that you can lose a job even
before the interview if you have too many spelling
mistakes on a CV. But now, recruiters have reported
the biggest mistakes that might stop you from getting
that job. Here are five unusual mistakes:Here are the seven unusual mistakes:
1_________________________ Candidates try to "beat the system" by using as many buzzwords as possible in their CVs. But according to recruiters this is a bad idea. They advise candidates to write their CVs to impress humans first, and to make sure that they only include keywords once. 2__________________________ Recruiters might need to make quick edits to your CV before sending it to hiring managers. So, if your CV isn’t editable, recruiters will need to get in touch with you to obtain another version. This will slow down the process, and other
candidates’ CVs will reach the people that make the decisions before yours.

3. __________Make sure your CV file name and your email adress look professional as it
may be the first thing recruiters and employers see. A file name like "Dave’s_CV_draft_553.doc" or an email such as "bad-boy-4- life@gmail.com"does not make the candidate look very reliable. 4. __________ Recruiters advise candidates to stick to the facts like
experience and your skills or achievements. Avoid phrases such as "Best salesman in Europe". 5.__________ Including your current pay or the salary you want on
your CV might hurt your ability to negotiate for the
offer you want.
