Hey, itâs Julieđ Are you wondering why your CV keeps getting rejected? Iâm about to tell you why – but first, you need to promise youâll actually action my tips, and not just read them!
Deal?!
Alright, letâs get to work.
đTypos
Correct spelling and grammar is the most basic expectation for your CV. Typos scream carelessness.
âCarefully read through your CV, checking for mistakes
âGet a friend to proofread your CV
âUse a spell checker like Grammarly
đToo generic
Include keywords and tailor your CV to the types of jobs youâre applying to. It might sound like a faff, but if youâre serious about getting a job then you need to create multiple versions of your CV to make it relevant.
đChunky paragraphs
Hiring managers donât want to read long paragraphs in your CV. They want to see short and neat bullet points that summarise your previous jobs and make it super easy to read.
đToo long
Your CV should be no longer than 2 pages. Cut your job descriptions down to only the most essential points. You donât need to include your references either!
đNo summary / personal statement
You need to captivate the hiring manager with a standout personal statement. It should explain your relevant qualities and experience in a nutshell, and why they want to continue reading your CV.
If you can correct all of these points in your CV, I guarantee youâll start to see more success!
Now get cracking!
