Avoidable Personal Information

While it is apt to include name, age, sex, marital status and even in some case hobbies, try not to make the details sound too redundant by going overboard. Long description about ones likes and dislikes is defiantly overkill, for which no one would think twice to rule out. It is important to keep things simple and also avoid personal details like gender orientation and religious views that might strike a conflict with those who are going through the application.

Unrelated Work Experience and Achievements

It is a given that a candidate may have a string of work experience. But while it is important to state all the work information, it would be advised to concise those job related experience that don’t play a part in the job one is applying for. A candidate having experience for a series of jobs might showcase qualities like adaptability and flexibility but for a recruiter, it wouldn’t form a good impression, thereby not taking the candidate seriously.  

 Moreover overstating ones accomplishment a complete waste to both recruiter and candidate itself as it doesn’t validate the skills that bring out a potential effectiveness in the desired job one is applying for.

Lengthy CVs and An Incorrect Attitude

If a candidates CV runs into pages, it is a clear sign of being discarded. A resume should hold crisp and short details validating the essence of one’s purpose in the work setting. If the recruiter wishes to know more, an interview can help to bring out all the rewired details. Furthermore, a resume can bring out the good and bad of a candidate. If the candidate is disinterested and yet applying out of compulsion it can be reflected on the CV. Facial gestures, posture or even the maintenance of one’s CV can attribute to a negative point of view.
