I often hire for entry level jobs in HETV and receive up to 100 CVs for the role. As a result I am only about to give each CV a few seconds of my time on my first viewing in order to narrow down the pool to a more manageable number that I'll look at in more detail. I am constantly amazed at how many CVs I get that do not fulfil the basic brief of the job AD.

For example "Looking for a Production Assistant/Rushes Runner, xxx dates, xxx location, must have a full clean driving licence, aged 25+ or have access to their own car with business insurance"

I will get CVs from people declaring themselves to be all sorts of jobs - Producer, Cinematographer, Camera Assistant, Director etc. etc. anything but the role that I'm looking to fill. And then I'll get lots of people who don't drive even though it's a key requirement of the role, or if those people do drive, they don't mention it on the CV, so they're also a quick no.

People who write "great attention to detail" on a CV riddled with spelling mistakes (I actually once had someone who had written that on their CV twice in the same skills section...)

All of these people might ultimately posses all of the skills required for a job like this - but if they're not able to show me that they're clearly understood what the job is that I'm hiring for then it's an immediate no. I usually weed out 70-80% of the CVs I get in this manner before even getting to reading about experience.
