Hilarious Things That Are Always Written on CV’s & Cover Letters


Most CVs are well laid out and give recruiters enough information to decide whether that person is suitable for a role or not.

From around the net, we found this list of 20 ridiculous things people wrote on their CV’s and cover letters full of spelling mistakes and typos. Which is a good excuse why you should give your CV one more look before sending it out. 

However, the identity of the people who wrote these gaffes has been hidden.
