Using a terrible email address: I’m not going to hire someone who uses the email “koolboi420@gmail.com” – never going to happen! Make sure your email address is neat and professional
- No detail in current role: Your most recent position is key to your CV – put some effort into outlining everything you can about your most recent role.
- Basic language: Use keywords and don’t speak simply when crafting your CV
- Unexplained gaps: If you’ve been out of work, you’ll have a gap in your employment history. Show that you used that time productively, such as with personal projects.
