The good news? These issues can be fixed.

The 7 Common CV Mistakes – and How AI Solves Them

Formatting Mistakes

Overly styled designs often confuse ATS software.
How AI helps: Delivers clean, professional layouts optimised for ATS while still looking sharp to recruiters.

Missing Keywords

If your CV doesn’t match the language of the job description, it’s unlikely to pass the filter.
How AI helps: Identifies and integrates the right keywords with precision.

Unclear Career Progression

Disorganised or patchy job histories leave recruiters puzzled.
How AI helps: Structures your CV into a clear, compelling narrative.

Hidden Technical Errors

Incorrect file types, embedded graphics, or formatting glitches can block your CV.
How AI helps: Detects and corrects technical issues automatically.

Vague Achievements

Phrases like “improved performance” lack impact without evidence.
How AI helps: Transforms vague statements into measurable, results-driven achievements.

Irrelevant Industry Fit

A generic CV doesn’t cut it anymore.
How AI helps: Tailors your CV to meet industry-specific expectations and terminology.

Length & Relevance

Too long? It gets skimmed. Too short? It looks underwhelming.
How AI helps: Optimises your content for clarity, relevance, and impact.
