Should you add a photo?
In Bangladesh and many Asian countries a professional photo is common and often expected. Use a recent, well-lit head-and-shoulders photo with a plain background. For jobs in the US or UK, photos are usually left out. Use our free Image Cropper to frame your photo neatly.
Common CV mistakes to avoid
- Long paragraphs instead of bullet points.
- Spelling mistakes and inconsistent dates.
- Unprofessional email addresses.
- Too much personal information (religion, full family details) for a job CV.
