5 Resume Mistakes That Cost You Caribbean Job Interviews

Your resume is your first impression. Common mistakes we see: 1) Including a photo and personal details (age, marital status) that aren't standard, 2) Not tailoring your resume to each role, 3) Listing duties instead of achievements, 4) Using unclear currency or salary expectations, 5) Poor formatting that doesn't parse well in ATS systems. For the Caribbean market, highlight any multi-island or international experience, language skills (especially Spanish/French/Creole), and your right to work.
