CV Mistakes
Common CV mistakes Malaysian job seekers should fix
Small CV problems can make a good candidate look less ready. Fix these before applying to more jobs or internships.
The mistakes that reduce recruiter confidence
The most common issue is not spelling. It is a CV that feels generic, hard to scan, or disconnected from the role. Recruiters need to see fit quickly.
Watch for these problems
- A summary that could belong to anyone.
- Bullet points that only list duties, not impact.
- Missing tools, systems, certifications, or role keywords.
- Too much design that makes the CV harder to read.
- No clear link between your experience and the job ad.
