Sometimes too much information can hurt your chances. 

Remember you only have a few seconds to sell yourself. 

Instead of putting too much detail on education, focus on your achievements, skills and expertise.   Include courses that will be useful to the role.  You can enter detailed information about the courses that can show transferable skills for the position. 

You don't have to put personal data such as age, marital status, weight, height, place of birth, and items in this nature.  You may include information about your interests but remember to keep it concise.  There is also no need to include your hobbies. 

Another mistake would be including your required rate.  Remember, at this point your goal is to get an interview, you can negotiate the rate after you are offered the job.

A CV is a marketing document about you, so remember to put in relevant and true information about yourself, your skills, and your work experience.  Don't be too modest but don't lie about your experience. 

You need to realise that the employer will choose to interview the candidate who has the best CV for the job, and not necessarily the candidate who is best suited for the job.
