Tips for a CV Preparation

8 DON’Ts in a CV

1. Avoid large text and small font
2. Do not write irrelevant and useless work experience for a specific job position
3. Avoid inconsistent formatting
4. Do not use personal pronouns and abbreviations
5. 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.

7. Do not use 2 languages in the same CV (for example using English words in a Greek CV)
8. Do not prepare it in an unacceptable storage format
