Make sure your resume is top-notch by avoiding the top 10 resume blunders:
1. Too Focused on Job Duties
2. Flowery or General Objective Statement
4. Using Personal Pronouns and Articles
5. Listing Irrelevant Information
6. Using a Functional Resume When You Have a Good Career History
The modified chronological format is often the most effective. Here's the basic layout:
- Header (name, address, email address, phone number).
- Lead with a strong profile section detailing the scope of your experience and areas of proficiency.
- Reverse chronological employment history emphasizing achievements in the past 10 to 15 years.
- Education (New grads may put this at the top).
7. Not Including a Summary Section That Makes an Initial Hard Sell
8. Where Are the Keywords?
Determine keywords by reading job descriptions that interest you and include them in your resume
