A well-written CV will leave a good impression on recruiters or potential employers and will have a huge impact on the way you look for a job. There are many free templates for resumes and CVs online and that makes it easier for you to create your own.
After long discussions with other recruiters, I have compiled a list of facts in a resume that are unlikely to impress recruiters:
Personal details: These is necessary information for recruiters and hiring managers to contact you. Dedicate just a small place to this section, as not all links to online profiles are decisive. Keep only the relevant data.
Photo: Believe it or not, people judge by appearance and as we know, this is a subjective perception. If the industry doesn't require it, I recommend not adding a photo to a resume.
Awards or achievements without proof: This aspect is not necessarily identified in this recruitment step, but the interview will certainly reveal that the awards or achievements are fake.
Fancy fonts: Font style and size are dependent on your preferences, but there are still some limitations. You should only choose a font that is easy to read and change the size in descending order from the name, heading to the bullets.
Previous salary information: No one cares about this information and will not rely on it when creating a job offer.
Hobbies: People can react differently to certain hobbies that they don't share or understand, so think twice before including them.
What recruiters hate most in resumes are:
Lies: Faking your resume, faking your career means faking your life. If you don't get a job, the other one is just around the corner if you look in the right place.
Spelling mistakes: Check your resume and emails before sending an application and check them online for grammar mistakes.
