General CV weaknesses

Some general weaknesses
  • No leadership skills or managerial experience
  • Missing skills, knowledge and/or experience
  • Patchy career history
  • Employment gaps
  • Many employers
  • Having worked for only one employer

It's important that you understand what your weaknesses are. You will be questioned during the interview about anything unclear in your CV and should be prepared for such questions. Balance your weaknesses with achievements.

If there is a clear lack of balance between the job requirements and your skills and experience, you will not be offered the job. One should then investigate how to bridge the gap. If education is an issue then a course or formal qualification could help you compete with the other candidates.
