The single biggest mistake I see job seekers make is sending the same CV to every employer.
Here's what works for me:
1. Read the job description carefully and highlight keywords
2. Mirror those keywords in your CV (skills section and summary)
3. Customize your summary/objective for each role
4. Prioritize the most relevant experience
This takes an extra 15 minutes but can dramatically improve your callback rate. What strategies do you use?
