Your CV is the one chance that you have to show off your skills and to show the employer that you are the best candidate for the role.

However, there are so many little mistakes that you can make that could get your job application overlooked. Here are the 4 most common mistakes that people make in their CVS.

4 Mistakes That Will Get Your Job Application Overlooked

Spelling and Grammatical Errors

The last thing a hiring manager wants to see on your application is grammar and spelling mistakes. Even the most careful applicant can overlook an error or two.

The best way to avoid this would be to have a family member or friend read over your application before you submit it or read it over out loud that way you can spot any phrases that don’t sound right.

Incorrect Dates

One of the most important elements hiring managers focus on is the length of time you have worked in previous positions. They will be looking over your dates to see if there are any gaps in your employment.

Make sure that you work out the timeline of each of your roles before putting them on your CV and that you fill in any gaps so that you are ready to answer any questions about them.

Contact Details

Yes, contact details can be one of the mistakes people make when applying for jobs. Make sure all of your information is up to date and included in your application ( address, phone number, email ).

Also, the most important thing would be to make sure that your email address is professional you don’t want a hiring manager seeing that your email is [email protected] so sign up for an email that you can use only for job applications.

Your CV Is Generic

Hiring managers go through so many applications for positions they post, so make sure your CV stands out. Really present the best of you and show them what you can offer their company.
