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?
