  1. 5 Resume Writing Mistakes That Will Lose You The Job! RESUME WORLDWIDE

  2. “Does it matter if you make a mistake whilst resume writing? Yes, it does. In fact, submitting a substantially defective resume is the quickest way to be filtered out as an application.” Here are 5 resume writing mistakes you need to avoid.

  3. 1. Making Misspellings and Grammatical Errors Check your spelling and then proofread each word with your finger. It's difficult to catch your own mistakes. Printing your resume, adjusting the font, or pasting it into a blank email are all options. These techniques allow you to perceive your words with fresh eyes, which can aid in the detection of faults. Another approach for identifying errors is to read it aloud. Alternatively, get it reviewed by a job coach, a friend, or a family member.

  4. 2. Not Including Keywords That Match the Job Posting The same keywords that appear in the job description should be included in your resume. If you don't include the proper keywords in your resume, it's unlikely that you'll be discovered because you won't look to be a good fit for the job.

  5. 3. Including Too Much Information Don't give all of the details of each employment to your readers. Focus on the highlights; unless you're seeking for a post in academia or research, keep your document to one or two pages. To improve readability, use formatting strategies like as bullets and short paragraphs. Only include the last 10 to 15 years of work experience on your CV. You don't have to list everything you've ever done.

  6. 4. Writing a Resume Objective That Doesn't Match the Job Avoid employing an objective statement that does not align with the focus of the target job. Many job applicants no longer include an aim on their resume and instead use a profile. If you include either, make sure it demonstrates your interest in the job you're looking for.

  7. 5. Not Quantifying Accomplishments Quantify accomplishments or provide other real data to back up your claims to avoid hollow self-congratulatory language. Numbers, such as the number of personnel handled, sales numbers, and so on, are always useful.
