Don't sentence your resume to death by shredder just because you made some careless mistakes. Avoid falling prey to the following errors:

Inaccuracies
  • Missing or grossly inaccurate dates (ie: January 1986 - December 1889).
  • Incorrect grammar and spelling errors.
  • Falsifying or exaggerating information.
  • Including a phone number that has been disconnected.
Sloppiness
  • Mailing crumpled, ripped or food stained resumes.
  • Applying liquid paper (white out) to cover your errors.
  • Printing a resume on brightly colored paper or with hard-to-read fonts.
  • Using the closing statement, "References Available Upon Request."
Including Irrelevant Information


  • Writing reference information on your resume.
  • Listing hobbies and personal statistics or using photos.
  • Including salary information (if it's requested, save it for your cover letter).
  • Making reference to your age, race, marital status, religion, health or political affiliations.
  • Writing about every job you had since you were 16-years-old.
  • Expressing negative or unimportant points.
Being Long-Winded or Unclear
  • Allowing your resume to read like a book (paragraph format).
  • Writing long, cumbersome sentences.
  • Exercising personal pronouns such as
  • "me and I."
  • Using obscure abbreviations and acronyms.
Dumb Mistakes
  • Writing "resume" on the top of your resume.
  • Explaining the reasons why you were terminated from a job.
