  2. Grammar Errors<\/b> \u2013 these make you look unprofessional and puts doubt in the mind of your language ability, even before meeting you<\/li>
  3. Sex, Race & Religion <\/b>\u2013 discrimination is taken seriously, always ensure your CV is a neutral document<\/li>
  4. Photo \u2013 <\/b>never add a photo to your CV, unless you\u2019re CV is for a creative art casting or modelling.\u00a0<\/li>
  5. Colours & fonts <\/b>\u2013 a CV is a factual document, not a creative piece of art. Always use standard fonts with standard sizes and traditional colour only<\/li>
  6. Layout<\/b> – avoid unnecessary tables, boxes and formatting. These distract the reader and cause issues with ATS<\/li>
  7. Age<\/b> \u2013 never add your date of birth. It does not matter how young or old you are, it is only about if you can actually do the job<\/li>
  8. References <\/b>– never list references on your CV, some recruiters use these to contact your old bosses, and try and sell their services to them<\/li>
  9. Non editable formatting – <\/b>sending your CV in a non-editable format, will damage your chances of landing interviews<\/li>
  10. Write a CV, not a book! <\/b>– The average length of a CV is 2 pages, a Resume can often be just 1 page. Keep your content short and to the point.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
