Mistakes to Avoid When Writing Your CV or Resume

You don't want to make the following costly mistakes when writing your CV/Resume?

People are loosing opportunities daily because of simple mistakes that they thought can be overlooked

You have to know that there are orders and protocols to follow in the business world be it corporate, market or online

And if you must grab these opportunities, you have to follow the order and obey the rules.

One of the important things needed as a jobseekers to land yourself a good job is a professional CV or Resume

So if you want to actually get the job, it's left to you to have a good and Quality standard CV or Resume, and not just any kind of copy and paste contents

If you happen to have made these mistakes, I'll advise you make the corrections before your next job application;

1. Using a non-professional email address; while people are overlooking this aspect, May I tell you that people are loosing Opportunities because of this small mistake.

Use a Gmail address that has your name in it please?. You are not a scammer now abi?

2. Your experiences are not in chronological order : At this stage, you should understand proper arrangements either in ascending or descending order. Don't just add your experiences as they come to your head, no! It's important you arrange in chronological order??

3. Poor Formatting: There's no way your CV will have errors and you won't know. A guy confidently reached out to me one day that he knows his CV is not well formatted but he has the right contents. While right contents are good, formatting is needed to display it aright.

4. Spelling and Grammatical Errors: Please, ensure you go through your CV thoroughly. you can imagine writing mad instead of made. The letter "e" can get one disqualified. Go through your CV thoroughly and if possible, give it to someone to help you go through it also.

5. Bad Summary/Objectives: Infact, a lot of CVs don't get 1secs of the recruiters attention due to bad summary or objectives. You must be able to talk about what you do and the values you intend to offer in your objective statement.

I'll stop here for now

I hope this helps someone out there
