In your search for
employment, it is vital for you to know the information that is useful to your employers
and present same on your CV.
Without further
ado, outlined below is the list of 4 things employers hate to see on your CV.
1.
INAPPROPRIATE EMAIL ADRESSESS: Email addresses
such as tega2fine@yahoo.com and tinasexy4lagos@hotmail.com, should
not be found on your CV. These email addresses does not portray you as a professional
and as such, employers hate to see it on your CV. An example of email address
that should be found on your CV is adebayojarvis@something.com.
2.
DON’T ATTACH YOUR PHOTO TO YOUR CV: Please do not
attach your photograph to your CV. Employers are always looking for reasons to
screen out applicants; a photograph on your CV might create room for you to be
screened out.
However, the
exception to this rule is if the employer makes it mandatory that all
applicants must affix their photos on their CVs.
3.
POOR FORMATING: All the information on your CV
should be typed using the same font. A combination of fonts like century
gothic, arial black, times new roman, etc, on one CV, should be avoided because,
it won’t look attractive to your employers.
4.
TOO MANY PAGES: As much as possible, try to reduce
the content of your CV to a single page. At a glance, employers can easily
review your CV and get any information they need.
