why small mistakes can cost you big opportunities
When employers search on Bayt.com, they filter results by relevance, activity, and completeness of your profile. A single mistake—like skipping a section or using the wrong keywords—can push your CV out of sight and reduce your visibility.
mistake #1: leaving your profile incomplete
Many job seekers skip sections like skills, certifications, or languages. These fields help employers filter candidates and highlight qualified professionals.
How to avoid it:
Fill in every section of your Bayt.com profile, even if you’re a fresh graduate or changing industries.
mistake #2: uploading a generic or outdated CV
A one-size-fits-all CV doesn’t work in today’s job market. Recruiters want fresh, relevant content that matches the role you’re applying for.
How to avoid it:
Tailor your CV to each job application and update it regularly to boost your profile ranking.
mistake #3: using weak or missing keywords
Recruiters search using keywords related to job titles, skills, and tools. If your CV doesn’t include these, it might not appear in search results.
How to avoid it:
Use keywords from job descriptions and industry terms that match your background and goals.
mistake #4: applying to every job you see
Some candidates apply to jobs they’re not qualified for, hoping something sticks. But this can lower your profile’s credibility and hurt your chances in the long run.
How to avoid it:
Focus on jobs that match your experience and skills to improve your success rate.
mistake #5: not staying active on Bayt.com
Employers see when your CV was last updated. Inactive profiles are less likely to show up in searches or get shortlisted.
How to avoid it:
Log in often, update your CV, and engage with job alerts to show you're actively looking.
