Your CV is your ticket to job interviews. But a small mistake can cost you big opportunities. Here are the top 7 CV mistakes to avoid in 2025:

• 1. Unprofessional Email: Use a simple email like yourname@gmail.com. Avoid fancy or funny ones.
• 2. No Career Objective: Start with a strong career goal that fits the job you want.
• 3. Too Long or Too Short: Keep your CV 1–2 pages max. Don’t over-explain or under-sell yourself.
• 4. Poor Formatting: Bad fonts, alignment, or spacing can make recruiters skip your CV. Use a clean template.
• 5. Irrelevant Info: Don’t include hobbies like “watching movies” unless they relate to the job.
• 6. Spelling & Grammar Errors: Always proofread. Typos look careless.
• 7. Missing Skills Section: List technical and soft skills clearly — this is what employers scan first.
