Creating a good resume is one of the most important parts of finding a
job. Your resume is the first thing a potential employer will get to see about you,
so it’s important to make a good first impression. Avoiding these common mistakes
can help you get more calls from employers and a better chance of landing a
job.
- Make sure your resume is free of grammatical errors. Typos in your resume can lead a potential employer to believe you can’t write well or you lack attention to detail. Proof read your resume a few times through to ensure your resume doesn’t have any errors.
- Be specific! Often people write about their previous positions and the duties associated with those positions. Employers want to know about your accomplishments and projects you completed at your jobs, not the fact that you had to attend daily meetings. Doing this can give your employer a better idea of your skills and proficiencies.
- Job seekers often also send the exact same resume to all employers. It is important to tailor resume to the job you are applying for. You don’t have to do a complete overhaul of your resume for each job, but highlighting skills you have that complement each job you are seeking will make it look like you are a great fit for each position.
