Resume mistakes
Professional Resume Writing Articles
Please avoid the following mistakes while writing your
resume. The following information is neither necessary
nor beneficial for your resume.
Age / Sex
/ Marital Status
These details do not
determine your ability to perform your job and must not
occupy a place within your resume.
References
This information is
unnecessary for your resume. Present it later when this
will be requested of you as your application progresses
to the final stages.
Voluntary Work
Unless there is a direct and positive link with the
job you are applying for, omit this out of your resume.
Some employers may appreciate your commitment to social
work but others may find it as a potential distraction.
Employer Information
It is
not necessary to include your current Employer
Information details in your resume. You will be asked at
interview if this information is required.
Remuneration
Do not mention details
of your expected remuneration. Giving this detail will
either undersell you or overprice you.
Lies
There are many risks involved in
lying, but many job applicants don't seem to get the
message about the risks of lying. Once the untruth is
discovered, you will lose your job. If there are areas
that you prefer not to disclose, do not mention about
them in your resume. Just don't lie - be honest.
Spelling Mistakes
Spelling and
grammatical errors can automatically disqualify a resume
from consideration. Regardless of your qualifications
and experience, if you make mistakes on your resume,
hiring managers will assume you will be equally careless
on the job. After you've finalized your cover letter and
resume, check and recheck them for errors in spelling or
punctuation. Proofread your document carefully.
