Top CV Tips...

A great list of Dont's from the Times when preparing your CV


The neurotic: a candidate submitted a password-protected CV that could not be accessed.
The evangelist: who ended a covering letter with “Jesus loves you”.
The banker: the applicant who put all his confidential bank details on his CV.
The cyber-criminal: who put that his life’s ambition was to be a computer hacker.
The punctual one: a candidate who said “I’m good at timekeeping. I wake up at 6am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday,” on her covering letter.
The bone idle: a candidate who sent across a generic template, leaving gaps where there should have been information describing the job position in which he was interested, and the company to which he was applying.
The enigma: a CV was submitted with no name or contact details.
The pervert: the CV with an “inappropriate” suggestive e-mail address.
The narcissist: a covering letter from a candidate with one objective: “to please and attain supreme perfection”
The porn star: a CV that included a photograph more suitable for a glamour shoot.
