55 Mistakes Job Seekers Make On Their

Resume

By: Jessica Holbrook Hernandez via Careerealism

I’m sitting in front of my computer trying to

think of a new way to say the same things I’ve

already said a million times.

I think I’m beginning to feel border line

preachy with my resume and cover letter ad-

vice.

But I also feel a duty to share with job seekers

the blunders and mistakes they make that pro-

hibit them from getting the interview and ulti-

mately the

offer.

Mistakes Job

Seekers Make

On Their

Resume

After ten years of working as a human

resources manager and recruiter, I’ve seen my

fair share of job seeker mistakes. So, here’s my

list of the five biggest mistakes job seekers

make on their resume:

Mistake #1: Using Outdated Formatting

The first impression your resume gives is

critical. How do you want the hiring manager

to perceive you? Professional and accom-

plished? Or sloppy and disorganized? Old and

outdated formats only reflect poorly on you as

a viable candidate for the position.

Mistake #2: Using An Objective If your resume has an objective please

stop. That is an outdated practice no longer

relevant in today’s job market. Objectives will

only land you in the “bland, just like everyone

else pile” not the “oh yeah, don’t let me forget

to call them today pile.”

Mistake #3: Forgetting Important Keywords

Don’t forget to use industry specific key-

words. Also make sure you know where to put

them. The top section of the resume is the

best place because that’s where the hiring

manager’s eyes will be drawn. Short keywords

are a great way to tell the employer about

your expertise.

Mistake #4: It’s Too Long (Or Too Short) Too long or too short and you’ve lost

your hiring manager. Keep paragraphs to 3-5

sentences and the same goes for the number

of bullets you use in your resume. Why? Any

longer and you lose the audience in infor-

mation overload...and shorter, you appear un-

derqualified.


11

Mistake #5: Listing Responsibilities Instead of Accomplishments

The hiring manager doesn’t want

your resume to be an exact repeat of

the job ad. They already know what

they need. Utilize statements that

demonstrate your expertise and ac-

complishments in a given area.

Certainly there was a challenge

you faced while working for your cur-

rent or previous employers. How did

you address these challenges and what

were the results. The answers to these

questions make for GREAT bullet points

on a resume.
