One of the biggest resume mistakes is treating the CV like a life story. Recruiters are not interested in everything you have done—they want what matters for this role.
Why Less Can Be More

Recruiters evaluate resumes by asking:
- Can this person do this job?
- How fast can I confirm that?
Anything that does not answer those questions slows the decision.
Final Thought
Your CV is a targeting tool, not an archive.
