7 things on your CV that is stopping you from getting Hired

Coming up with a well written, concise CV could be very tasking. HR managers and recruiting officers have thousands of CV's to go through. Therefore, your CV can get disqualifid simply because of little mistakes.These mistakes when repeated all the time might hinder you from getting that job you seek.
Here is a simple way to come up with the perfect CV:

1. Unnecessary personal information
Anything besides your name,email address and contact info should not be necessary.Some details such as your tribe, age, height, weight, religion are detail that are irrelevant.

2. Education Background
Your university degree is your highest level of education and that's all that matters. Every other certificate is not necessary. If you are yet to graduate, you can include both the secondary school and the University where you're currently enrolled.

3. Grades
Some of us with low GPA it is not necessary to include that in your CV. No one wants to employ a dimwit. Remove that from your Resume and show the employer that you're smart beyond that grade of yours.

4. Work experience
There's no need to include your work experience, such as a 3-day job you did at the mall and the likes. Make sure you include only what relates to the particular job you are applying for.

5. Hobbies
No one is really ready to go through your hobbies in your CV. Only include hobbies that are related to the job you are applying for.
