Why Does My CV Keep Getting Rejected? A question a lot of people ask but don't get any answers to. Of course you could phone and ask why you didn't get an interview but the chances of you getting any information from the company that is useful are slim to none. Non-standard format of your CV is one of the chief reasons for CV rejection. Funky colours, non standard fonts and the like are all pretty much guaranteed to get your CV rejected. Stick with the traditional, tried and tested methods. Plain black text on a white background seems to work best. Use a good quality paper with laser or high quality ink jet printing for best results Did you know that you have only 20-30 seconds in which to make an impression with your CV. You will make an impression, it is up to you to make sure that the impression is favourable. A personal profile or career statement can do that job for you. Make it easy for the reader to want to know more about you. Omit this information and the reader has to work harder for the information that they expect to see immediately Responsibilities are boring but achievements show what you can do for an organisation. Recruiters expect people to carry out their responsibilities anyway- achievements separate out the ordinary from the extra ordinary. Look through your career history and start to pull out the things that you did well- what did you achieve? How much did you add to the organisation and why? Show an employer this sort of information and they will want to talk with you Email addresses are there for a simple purpose- for an employer to get in touch with you. Avoid at all costs stupid names and nicknames in your email. Get yourself a new email address if you need to and make sure that you check it regularly Hobbies and interests won't get you a job. Putting ridiculous interests on your CV will get it rejected. Anything too wild, too wacky or clearly taking up masses of time won't work- you're CV will get rejected pretty much straight away. If you're at all concerned, leave your hobbies out- it isn't compulsory to include them Failure to read a job description thoroughly will get you rejected. The reason is that your cover letter should sell your experience and achievements to make sure that you tick all the boxes. If you want to, adapt your CV to the job in hand, perhaps a better way is to get a great cover letter written that gets you through the door. It makes all the difference in the world People rely on spell checking all the time nowadays. This makes people a little lazy. Spell checkers won't get a persons name spelled correctly. This is such a common mistake that I thought that people would have learned by now. Spell the recruiters name wrong and watch a stream of rejection letters come through your letterbox- if you get anything back at all!
