7 Common Mistakes in a Resume: Important Tips
Your Resume is one of the most important
documents you would write in your career. Mistakes in your Resume
could therefore cost you dearly. Here are some common errors to
be avoided while writing your Resume:
- Typo errors: Spelling mistakes
can leave a poor impression. So have your Resume proof read by
someone to remove such errors.
- Factual mistakes: Incorrect tenure
in an organization, faulty name, chronology of experience, can
all lead to misunderstandings.
-
Long flowing sentences: This
distracts the scanning eyes of a recruiter due to the limited
time they allot to reading Resumes.
- Formatting: The size & type of
font chosen can have an impact on the readability.
- Incorrect contact information:
This being the second most critical data after your experience
& skills must be correctly presented. Mention both present & permanent
addresses with direct contact numbers.
- Lack of objective/focus: Unclear
objectives can leave a recruiter guessing which field or type
of job you are interested in. A great objective statement clearly
defines your career goal aligned with the job you are targeting
for.
- Length: The resume should be
descriptive enough to explain what your key skills are, yet short
enough to retain interest of the recruiter.
Keep these tips in mind to develop a Resume that gives you interview calls.
