Reign of errors
We asked for your CV errors. “I regularly find incorrectly addressed emails with CVs attached that I have to forward to HR, although some were meant for another company,” says Su Armitage at Senator.
“Invariably the first item in their list of attributes is ‘close attention to detail’.”
When listing achievements in his CV, one individual presumably meant to say: “I constructed a database that assisted in the running of my employer’s business,” says Tony Gist at TG training.
“But the person wrote: ‘I constructed a database that assisted in the ruining of my employer’s business’.”
Whether he was telling the truth or not, it’s not a good sign. He didn’t get the job. More CV errors please.
