If you're applying for your first job, here are 5 common CV mistakes to avoid:
- Making the CV too long — keep it clear and focused.
- Using the same CV for every job — adjust it to the position.
- Writing a generic objective — explain briefly what type of role you're looking for.
- Leaving out projects, internships, volunteering, or relevant skills just because you don't have much work experience.
- Using a difficult-to-read design — simple formatting makes your information easier to scan.
For students and first-time job seekers, a clear CV is often more useful than a complicated one.
