Top 10 Mistakes Job Seekers Make When Writing Their Resumes

The TOP 10 Mistakes Made When Writing a Resume

1) Not being 100 % honest
2) Having too much information and/or too many pages
3) Listing your reasons for leaving on your resume and/or listing your salary history
4) Poor formatting, including having too much white space on the page and/or putting all of your information in paragraph form rather then bulleting out your experience
5) Listing an address in a location far away from where you are applying for (this specifically applies for people from out of state-get a PO BOX if need be)
6) Having an inappropriate email address-such as sexylegs69@yahoo.com or phone message or song when people try to reach you
7) Using personal pronouns, such as "I did blah blah blah". I is not appropriate for a resume
8) Having a picture or a border around your resume
9) Being vague and/or too general about your experience
10) Having typos, grammatical errors, or misspellings
