Common Resume' Mistakes
Lying about your experience. Augmenting your credentials with a little fiction might help you get the job, but you almost certainly will be found out. This could cause you to be fired sometime down the road. Worse, you will have gravely harmed your reputation, Industry people travel in the same circles. Even a little lie can backfire.
Typos and misspellings. You send a very
negative message about your quality of work and attention to detail if your
resume and cover letter aren't perfectly clean. Don't rely on your computer's
spell check function. Your computer won't know if you negotiated with unions
or onions. Review each word carefully, and have someone else review it too
Cutesy-pie layouts and stationery. Some people believe that their resume will stand out in the crowd if they stray from the conventional layout. This might work if you're applying for a creative job like graphic artist and you know that someone is definitely going to look at it. But many companies scan resumes into a computer for later review. If yours is too radical, it may not scan and you won't be considered. Keep it conservative - no hot pinks.
Telling too much about yourself. Be careful what info you do share. You might run into someone's bias, so avoid hitting those hot buttons. If you were president of the Young Republicans, your Democrat interviewer may not be impressed. If you list golf as a hobby, someone might think you would spend too much time on the course. Use your judgement. You can always discuss what's important to you once you are seated face to face, but don't deny yourself that opportunity.
