    Common mistakes you make on your CV

    According to The employment agency There are certain things you absolutely must avoid when writing a CV. Here are seven common mistakes people make on their resumes:

  • Lying – many people play tricks with the truth on their resumes, which is a bad idea. It is best to stick to the truth, as the employer will often check you out.
  • Underestimates one’s merits – even if one does not have much work experience, there can be many things you have done outside of work that can lift your CV. Perhaps you have been active in an association? Or had a role in a student union? Mention it in your CV!
  • Forgetting to enter your contact details – so that the employer can easily contact you, it is important that you enter your contact details, such as phone number or email address.

    • The employment agency also highlights that it is actually not impossible to get a job despite lacking experience. Many may not dare to apply for a specific job after seeing the requirements. However, it can still be good to network and show that you are committed. Having a professional LinkedInprofile can also benefit you.
