Want a job in Dubai? Avoid these CV mistakes

Dubai - Here are some of the common CV mistakes you must avoid while hunting for a job in Dubai

Thousands of resumes are floated in different companies every day in Dubai by job seekers. A perfect CV can help you get your dream job in Dubai.
Here are some of the common CV mistakes you must avoid while hunting for a job in Dubai
1: Typos and grammatical errors
Typos and grammatical errors on the CV are the most common mistakes. Unprofessional fonts, outdated and irrelevant information are a complete turn off for the employers. Special attention must be given to the language and framing of sentences.
2: Unnecessary Details
A recruiter does not spend more than six seconds on a CV. Putting irrelevant information on the CV can make the recruiter miss the relevant information. Focus should be made on giving to-the-point information that is relevant to the position you are applying for. 
3: Being generic
According to monster.com, tailoring your CV to different job requirements is important. Applying for different jobs with the same CV can land your bio in a trash bin. Having a clear understanding of the jobs requirements is very important before applying for multiple positions. 
4: Mysterious gaps in employment
Career gap should be properly explained in the CV, whether it was for travel, study, or simply to care for your child. If not done properly, the recruiter may pass your CV over without a second thought.
5: A bad objective
Copy pasted objective on CVs is very common. Do not write a vague and clichéd job objective. The objective must be specific and something that focuses on the employer's needs as well as your own.
Now that you are prepared, start your job hunt here.
