CVs and Cover Letters
How much time do employers and recruiters spend on each document the first time they look through applications for their roles?
Around 10 seconds!!!!!
The more CVs they receive, the less time they spend. They are looking for a reason to put CVs on the “reject” pile so they have a shortlist left to phone screen.
Grammar and spelling mistakes, poor organization and inappropriate content are all good reasons to put people in the “NO” pile.
Make sure these reasons don’t get you rejected. Get accurate, well-organised documents so you have the best chance to make a great first impression.
