Careers » How not to make common resume mistakes?

Updated on Feb 7, 2010

Instantly improve your resume by following these simple instructions.

  • Unclear objective
    Make sure you provide a clear objective of what you are looking for.
  • Spelling and grammar mistakes
    Have someone proof read your essay. There is not a bigger turn off than a resume with spelling and grammer mistakes.
  • Accomplishments not listed
    Focus on accomplishments rather than duties. Employers want to know what you contributed to, more than what your role duties were.
  • Know your audience
    You resume should target the person who would be looking at it.
  • Unorganized resume
    Organized resumes are easy to read and display your skills in an easy to read format.
  • Keywords
    Don't miss the important keywords.
  • References on resume
    Never provide references on your resume. A statement such as: "References: Available on request." is generally enough.
