Common mistakes while making Resume/CV 

• Attaching photos - unless the position specifically requires it, never do it!
• Stating salary information - this can only be used to reject your application. If an advertisement specifically requests salary information, put it in your cover letter.
• Overstating your abilities - don't describe a particular skill as "excellent" when you should be putting something like "good working knowledge". In a bid to impress, candidates often overstate their  capabilities.
•  Unexplained gaps in your career history.
• Wasting time and space elaborating on non-relevant academic or career details if they're not pertinent to the job in question.

     Just supply the bare facts.

•  Negative information, such as your reasons for leaving. These can be discussed at interview.
• References - these should be given after the initial interview. Firstly, it reflects better on you if the referee is prepared and briefed. Secondly, references are normally distributed from personnel for legal reasons and can now only refer to basic employment facts where company policies

      Dictate.

• A CV that exceeds two pages. A CV will be scanned for approximately 30 seconds. Any longer and the recruiter tends to switch off.
•  Large blocks of text and paragraphs too difficult to read. These are often skimmed over. Avoid this at all costs.
• Spelling and grammar errors. Make sure you get someone to read through your CV.
•  Not orienting your CV to results and achievements. A recruiter will be less likely to see the benefit of inviting you for interview.
•  Putting in absolutely everything - you have to be selective so that what you do put in has the maximum impact.
