• CV’s with typos

• Candidate has an inappropriate, non-professional-sounding email address

• CV’s missing information—no dates of employment, no list of skills

• CV’s that are too generic, not tailored for the position

• CV’s that copy/paste text from the job ad

• CV’s printed on decorative paper

• Pay attention to the small details i.e., spacing, consistency in abbreviations and months and years throughout the CV related to each job. This attention to detail reflects what type of employee you will be.
