CV Optimiser guide
Most CV mistakes are not dramatic. They are small relevance and clarity issues that make a good candidate look average during a fast scan.
Check your target role, top-third summary, keyword match, bullet strength, formatting and evidence. Every major section should help the recruiter understand why you fit this job.
The biggest mistake is using one generic CV for every application. Other costly issues include duty-only bullets, no numbers, unclear dates and weak job-description alignment.
CV Optimiser gives you a score, missing keywords and priority fixes so you know what to change first.
Start with relevance. Your CV should show the target role, the right evidence and the language from the job description in the first page.
Add the important keywords you can honestly support with experience. A smaller number of well-evidenced terms is better than a long list that feels forced.
It can happen if core content is hidden in tables, images or unusual layouts. Clear headings, plain text order and readable bullet points are safer.
It compares your CV with a job description, shows missing keywords and highlights the fixes most likely to improve your CV match.
Paste your CV and a job description into CV Optimiser to get a more detailed match report.
