Poor CVs 'can irritate' potential sales jobs employers

Not setting out your CV in a clear and logical fashion is one of the most annoying things people applying for sales jobs can do, according to an employer.

Publisher Peter Honey told People Management about the difficulty he had when trying to sift through CVs which were difficult to read and hard to believe.

Mr Honey said that he was irritated by applicants who made extraordinary claims in an introductory paragraph which he found highly unlikely, providing a warning to applicants for sales jobs.

He also spoke about the problems he had with poorly set out resumes and commented: "Some CVs start in the present and work backwards. Others start in the past and gradually work their way forwards... The most confusing are the CVs that oscillate between forwards and backwards."
