Four Things To Avoid While Writing Your Resume

Avoid immature Resumes

This is one of the biggest mistakes some of the professionals do either knowingly or unknowingly. That is to present an immature resume. Professionals should realize the fact that adding pictures or cartoon characters is not professionalism. Instead you can make your resume as professional and readable as possible. Most of the employers have said that they have immediately trashed resumes that sport a picture on them; and added that cute resume additions like these are for kids and not for professionals.

Your resume is sneaky

David S. Williams, founder and CEO of salary consultancy Spring Raise, said that if you are unemployed, do not try to hide it, in fact reveal it. He further added that “You may be doing yourself a disservice because you may be a strong candidate for a position, but you tried to hide your current status.”

A better way to tackle this is to be as straightforward as possible on your resume. Most of the job seekers don’t realize how important it is to utilize the cover letter. It is a must to use the cover letter to give the details of your career’s progress including information about how you managed your time during your previous job. And if you still don’t remember to write a cover letter, be assured to get your resume thrown into the trash.
