Common CV mistakes

1/10/2026

Most CVs are rejected for avoidable reasons.

Too long or too dense

Keep it to one or two pages with clear sections and white space.

Missing dates

Always give month and year for each job and diploma.

Vague descriptions

"Responsible for various tasks" says nothing. Describe what you actually did.

Spelling errors

Proofread, or ask someone else to read it.

Exaggeration

Never claim skills or experience you do not have. It will come out in the interview.
