How to Write a CV

When you save your CV don’t name it mycv.doc or newcv.doc, use your name as the file name – this makes it so much easier for the recruiter!

Gaps on a #CV If a gap is only a month or so, don’t worry about it, but any longer can be an issue. More here http://bit.ly/eEfVuD

Today’s main CV spelling mistake? Formally instead of formerly. As with many mistakes, spell checkers will miss this as it isn’t an error.

Spelling mistake/ error of the day. Not seen this on a #CV before rather amazingly! Apparently went to “Collage” and studied electronics.

Another common spelling error we are seeing on #CVs is Collage instead of College. No idea why but these errors definitely come in waves.

Biggest cliché on a CV? A recruiter told us – “I work well in a team or on my own”. I’ve lost count of how many times we see this.#cvrewrite

Proof read your CV. The number of CVs at the moment with the most basic errors is scary. Mistake of the day? Confidant instead of confident.
