Career Insights & Tips

Top 10 CV Mistakes That Cost You Interviews

Published: 15 July 2025 | By Calm Shade Team

Your CV is your first impression with potential employers. Unfortunately, many qualified candidates miss out on interviews due to common CV mistakes that can be easily avoided.

1. Generic CVs for Different Roles

Sending the same CV for every application is a critical error. Tailor your CV to each specific role and company.

2. Poor Formatting and Layout

Cluttered, inconsistent formatting makes your CV difficult to read and appears unprofessional.

3. Focusing on Duties Instead of Achievements

List accomplishments and quantifiable results rather than just job responsibilities.
