Cover Letter Mistakes That Make Recruiters Hit ‘Delete’

Avoid these instant-turnoff mistakes:

🌟 Generic Openers – "To whom it may concern", instead use "Dear [Hiring Manager’s Name]" or "Dear [Team Name]."

🌟 Repeating Your Resume – Expand on one key achievement instead.

🌟 Overly Formal Tone – Sound human (e.g., "I’d love to contribute" instead of "I herein submit my application").

🌟 Typos – 83% of recruiters reject over errors. Read it aloud!

🌟 Too Long – A cover letter more than 1 page risk ending up in the trash folder. Keep it to 3-4 paragraphs.

Guilty of any of these? (We all were once!)

The Cover Letter Formula That Gets Hiring Managers to Read Yours

Most cover letters get skimmed - or skipped.

Use this 3-part formula to keep recruiters hooked:

1. Opening Hook – Start with a specific reason you’re excited about the role/company

e.g., "Your mission to democratize clean energy aligns with my 5 years in solar project management".

2. Middle Proof – Link 2-3 achievements to the job’s needs (use numbers!).

3. Closing Call – End with enthusiasm + a request to discuss further.

Example of a weak vs. strong opener:

❌ "I’m applying for the Marketing Manager role."

✅ "When I saw your job post mentioning ‘scaling TikTok campaigns,’ I knew I had to apply - my viral strategy grew engagement by 180% in 3 months."

Resume Mistakes That Are Costing You Interviews (Stop Doing These!)

❌ Duties listed, not achievements: Instead of just listing job duties, focus on specific achievements and accomplishments.
Example: "Increased sales by 30%" instead of "Handled sales."

❌ Typos and errors: A single mistake can lead to automatic rejection by recruiters.
Statistic: 58% of recruiters reject resumes with errors.

❌ Too long: Keep your resume concise and focused.
Guideline: 1 page for those with less than 10 years of experience, 2 pages maximum for executives.

❌ Generic objective: Replace with a professional summary that highlights your skills and experience.

❌ Unprofessional email: Use a professional email address as your primary contact information.
Example: "[email protected]" instead of "[email protected]"

Best Practices

✅ Focus on achievements: Quantify your accomplishments to demonstrate impact.

✅ Proofread carefully: Ensure error-free writing to increase credibility.

✅ Tailor your resume: Customize your resume for each job application.

✅ Use a professional summary: Highlight your skills, experience, and career goals.

✅ Use a professional email: Establish a professional online presence.

💡 Fix: Use tools like Grammarly & Hemingway Editor!

ATS-Friendly Resume Tips: Beat the Bots & Get Noticed

🤖 75% of resumes get rejected by ATS bots before a human sees them. Fix yours with these tips:

✅ Use Standard Headings – "Work Experience," not "My Journey."

✅ Keyword Optimization – Copy terms from the job description.

✅ Simple Formatting – No tables, graphics, or fancy fonts.

✅ Save as PDF – Unless they ask for Word.

🚫 Avoid: "Creative" resumes (unless you’re in design!).

How to Tailor Your Resume for Different Job Applications

🔍 Sending the same resume for every job? Big mistake! Here’s how to customize it in 3 steps:

1️⃣ Study the Job Description – Highlight keywords (skills, tools, job titles).

2️⃣ Match Your Skills – Reorder bullet points to fit what they want.

3️⃣ Adjust Your Summary – Mirror the company’s language (e.g., "data-driven" if they use it).

📌 Example: Applying for a Marketing Manager role? Move "Campaign Growth (+150% ROI)" to the top!

🤔 Do you tweak your resume for each job? Or use one version?

When it comes to crafting a killer CV, there are a few essentials to keep in mind!

First, remember to tailor your CV to each job application - highlight the skills and experiences that match the job requirements.

Next, make sure your CV is easy on the eyes with a clear format, clear headings, and bullet points.

Instead of just listing your job responsibilities, focus on the amazing achievements and results you've achieved in your previous roles.

Don't forget to include relevant keywords related to the job and industry to help your CV pass through those pesky applicant tracking systems.

And finally, keep it concise - one or two pages is all you need to showcase your awesomeness!

I hope this is helpful.
