The Seven Deadly Sins of Resumé Writing

• Making your resumé too long...
  Extra length hinders; it doesn't help. Long-winded resumés can confuse or worse yet, irritate the reader. With hundreds of resumés to look through, keep yours short so that it will be read.
• Putting data in chronological order...
  What the reader is looking for is what you are doing now. Today. List your current job first and include the most detail about that job.
• Not demonstrating your value to a prospective employer...
  Show your value to a company by demonstrating how you have reduced costs, increased sales or improved efficiency of operations. Employers are looking to invest in not only your future, but their companys' future. Demonstration of value is more important than all the job titles you can list.
• Not showing your accomplishments...
  Don't just say you increased sales, say by what percentage. Don't just say you were head of a department, say how large a department. These are the facts that make your resumé stand out.
• Misplacing emphasis...
  Give thought to the layout of your resumé. If you are a recent grad, education listed first makes sense; if you are established in your career, work experience may count more than education. Don't write long-winded objectives. Employers are looking for what you can bring to their company, not how wonderful the company is and how you want to reach your full potential.
• Including blockers...
  Certain things that will block you from getting a job include; no objective at all, experience that is so old it doesn't apply to what you do, listing references on your resumé and lying.
• Being careless of quality...
  Don't misspell words; check and re-check your resumé. If you need to, have a professional write it, but be sure it is perfect. Remember, your resumé is selling YOU, a million dollar package!
