MISTAKES TO AVOID

Most resumes have the same type of mistakes, they are four, and herewith we will help you not make them:

1. Errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar.

Spell-checking software will not do, you can be certain of it. If you want to avoid the large number of spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes most people make you will have to read your resume at least two times carefully scanning all possible mistakes.

Second step is as useful as the first one: Give your resume to someone to read it aloud, and then listen carefully looking for mistakes. A Resume cannot have errors AT ALL.

2. No objective or summary.

An objective tells whoever is reading your resume what you exactly are looking for, and what you can exactly do. If you avoid this, the employer will have to go through your entire resume figuring out what you can and would like to do.

3. Focus on responsibilities instead of results.

We practical, do not spend much time and waste much space of your resume explaining what your responsibilities were, tell employers what you have achieved, that exposes your potential in a more direct and powerful way.

4. Too many big words.

Unless you are looking for a job as a writer or poet, do not make your resume complicated or difficult to read, on the opposite, make it practical, employers want to know if you are suitable for a job or not, they are not interested in your vocabulary skills. Just keep it simple!
