Is your CV too brief?
If
your CV is only one page long with lots of space to spare, even if it is the first CV you have ever written, then you have not provided enough detail to interest the reader. Consider expanding on your skills, experience or personal profile.
Is your CV too long?
Avoid listing everything that you have ever done and creating a CV that stretches over several pages in length. Recruiters need to be able to quickly and clearly identify the relevant information in the shortest amount of time.
Is my CV applicable to the vacancy?
It is advisable to write a slightly different CV for each job application. Every employer and every vacancy is different; therefore, it pays to highlight the different skills according to the requirements of the particular job.
Is the layout of your CV clear and concise?
A cluttered CV with too much information or a complicated format will put prospective employers off. The employer needs to be able to pick out the relevant skills and experience within seconds.
