I’ve looked at many resumes over the years and there seems to be a trend in things I don’t like to see. Here is a show list of things I think should be avoided on a resume<\/p>\n
1. An unclear objective<\/p>\n
2. The line “references available on request” – put references down if you have the space<\/p>\n
3. A two page resume with tons of white space that could easily be fit on one page<\/p>\n
4. Jobs or details that don’t start and end on the same page<\/p>\n
5. Too much white space between the name and the beginning of the resume<\/p>\n
6. An email address like “hotguy44@gutcheck.com” or “babe4000@makemelookdumb.com” – use a first name last name email address<\/p>\n
7. Job listings that don’t have consistent verb tense<\/p>\n
8. Too many gaps in employment<\/p>\n
9. No explanation for inactivity if out of work for an extended period<\/p>\n
10. Listing colleges without the classes taken<\/p>\n
