I recruit every year for graduate level professionals in my area. I've probably received 300+ cvs over the years and interviewed more than a hundred candidates. They all have the same qualification, however, it astounds me the difference in heir cv presentation.
We have had some crackers- one candidate actually graded himself on a made up scale where he rated his own social skills, attitude and clinical skills, giving himself a 3 out of 5 in all categories.
One Cv that was sent was a bar code. Just that. Nothing else.
We've had cover photos that look like someone Instagram semi porno- not advisable in a professional role. We've had some that just pasted random photos instead, of buildings.
One that annoys me that is so common is the cut and paste "Dear ..., "
they've clearly been in a rush, sent the cv to several people and forgot to change the name of who they were writing to, on the cover letter.
My email address is different from my professional title, and quite often I'm addressed by my email instead of proper name. They've just not read the ad properly.
I've had cvs that have listed every single Duke of Ed, school art project and attendance at Brownies/Beavers as a kid. None of that is relevant to this role. I really give up sometimes. I really do. I've probably missed out on some very good candidates who sadly didn't get past the recruitment stage, because they were dismissed straight away due to nonsense cvs
