Tips for a CV Preparation
8 DON’Ts in a CV
- Avoid large text and small font
- Do not write irrelevant and useless work experience for a specific job position
- Avoid inconsistent formatting
- Do not use personal pronouns and abbreviations
- Avoid a photo, unless it is required in the job application. In that case choose a photo that you look serious and adjust the privacy settings of your social media photos, so the recruiters will not have full access.
- Do not provide a wrong or not professional email address e.g «girlhello3@hotmail.com».
- Do not use 2 languages in the same CV (for example using English words in a Greek CV)
- Do not prepare it in an unacceptable storage format
8 DO’ s in a CV
