One of the biggest mistakes we see is that professionals and students use the same CV for both academic and professional applications.
The truth is:
An Academic CV is designed to showcase your education, research, publications, and academic achievements, while a Professional CV is built to highlight your experience, skills, and accomplishments that employers are looking for.
Using the wrong format could reduce your chances of getting shortlisted even if you're the perfect candidate.
