Six Red Flags on Your Resume!
It's a tough job market out there, be competitive and land that job. Here's some tips that can help.
#1.) IT LISTS AN OBJECTIVE. Some people still put it at the very top, but real estate is important on a resume. It's already obvious you want the job, and the objective usually comes across sounding fake anyway.
--Plus, if you say you only want to do one specific thing, and you DON'T get the job, they might not consider you for other jobs that open up.
#2.) IT INCLUDES AN UNPROFESSIONAL EMAIL ADDRESS. Email is free. So if you insist on keeping your "ilovepie@yahoo.com" address, create a new email account to use just for your job search.
#3.) IT INCLUDES REFERENCES. References always go on a separate page. And only if they're requested. Don't even bother saying that your "references are available upon request." It's understood.
#4.) IT'S WRITTEN IN FULL SENTENCES. The person reading your resume has to read A LOT of resumes. The first thing they're gonna do is skim it, so only use bulleted lists to catch their attention.
#5.) IT INCLUDES THE WORDS "DUTIES" OR "RESPONSIBILITIES". Concentrate on what you ACHIEVED at your previous job, not what your boss made you do.
#6.) THERE ARE NO NUMBERS. Your resume shouldn't just be about WHAT you've done, but HOW you did it. So don't be vague. Instead of saying you managed a group of interns, say how many interns you managed. (Yahoo.com)
