Writing your CV - Top CV Mistakes Presentation of your document   Writing your Curriculum Vitae It's deceptively easy to make mistakes on your CV and exceptionally difficult to repair the damage once an employer gets it. So prevention is critical, especially if you've never written one before. Here are some common pitfalls and how you can avoid them. 1. Typos and Grammatical Errors Your CV needs to be grammatically perfect. If it isn't, employers will read between the lines and draw not-so-flattering conclusions about you, like: This person lacks attention to detail or This person obviously doesn't care. 2. Lack of Specifics Employers need to understand what you've done and accomplished. For example: Worked with employees in a customer service department. Recruited, hired, trained and supervised more than 20 employees in a customer service department with a daily call intake of 1,000 calls. Both of these phrases could describe the same person, but clearly the second one's details and specifics will more likely grab an employer's attention. 3. Highlighting Duties Instead of Accomplishments It's easy to slip into a mode where you simply start listing job duties on your resume. For example: Attended group meetings and recorded minutes. Updated departmental files. Employers, however, don't care so much about what you've done as what you've accomplished in your various activities. They're looking for statements more like these: Used laptop computer to record weekly meeting minutes and compiled them in a Microsoft Word-based file for future organisational reference. Reorganised 10 years' worth of unwieldy files, making them easily accessible to department members. 4. No Action Verbs Avoid using phrases like "responsible for." Instead, use action verbs: "Resolved user questions as part of an IT help desk serving 4,000 students and staff." 5. Visually Too Busy If your CV is wall-to-wall text featuring five different fonts, it will most likely give the employer a headache. So show your CV to several other people before sending it out. Do they find it visually attractive. If what you have is hard on the eyes, revise. 6. Incorrect Contact Information Double-check even the most minute, taken-for-granted details -- sooner rather than later. 7. Personal Information Unrelated to the Job With the limited time recruiters spend on your CV, you don't want to distract them with your age, height, weight and interests unless they're directly related to the work you want to do.
