Avoid typos at all cots
Speling mistokes in you’re CV are pretty much inxcusable.?
There, I said it. Kinda.?
According to a study carried out by Ghent University, the probability of you landing a job interview decreases by a little over 7% if you have just TWO spelling mistakes in your CV.?
(I actually think that drop is incredibly low, especially if those mistakes are in your opening statement).
Your chances decrease by almost 20% if you have more than 5 errors.
Couple that with a study conducted by Robert Half in 2018 that showed 70% of hiring managers are put off of applications due to poor spelling and grammar and that 17% of CIO’s identified that these are their top red flags, then it’s hard to argue against the fact that perfecting your CV is a pretty good investment of your time.?
