- Spelling mistakes and Incorrect use of Grammar

- Using American English when applying for English companies

- Inconsistent use of style and fonts

- Using first person language “I did...”

- Cut and pasting Job descriptions

- Generalisations such as “Great at problem solving”, but not demonstrating how this was applied with a practical example
