In this week’s blatant pitch for publicity, online recruiter fish4jobs analysed 500,000 CVs to look for common mistakes and then tell us about them.
If you’re unemployed, this may not seem a terribly constructive use of time for an online recruitment site, but at least those of you who supplied your CVs to fish4jobs know that for once someone has actually bothered to read them.
Among the mistakes: email addresses with names such as “bigboy” or “hotstuff”, people who work in a “busty office” or want to work in “pubic relations”, and a few candidates who even managed to spell their own names incorrectly.
Any of you who have made (or witnessed) similar mistakes, do share them with us.
