Inconsistent Information
• Recruiters take careful note of details like employment dates to ensure that they are consistent.
• Sometimes, they check to see if the dates provided on your CV match the ones on your social media accounts.
• When one job seems to start before the previous one ends, you have provided inconsistent information on your CV.

recruiters to verify all the information about the candidate
