According to a
2013 CareerBuilder
survey,
58% of employers identified résumés with typing as one of the top mistakes that
can lead to the condition of dismissal for the candidate.
In this
knowledge world, there is no excuse for the grammatical errors. Common errors,
misuse of words, words spelled incorrectly. Don’t only rely on spell check, but
always have a second eye on your resume after you have reviewed it yourself.
2. Giving Incorrect Information

This may seem
obvious, but if you provide simple details wrong, then your resume will toss
into the reject pile, fast.” When you provide incorrect information as
incorrect phone number down or mess up your job titles or dates, it will make
your resume cumbersome and haphazard.
Even if you succeed
in the interview stage, the incorrect information will come out eventually, and
this can land you into trouble. A wrong phone number can easily be called and a
job title can be verified by the former employer.
3. Giving Everyone the Same Résumé

This can be
surprising for some job seekers, but always remember your, resume is not one
size and doesn't fit in all jobs. “No two roles are alike” always remember this
phrase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Says Hargett.
Career builder
survey has concluded that 36% of employers found resumes that are too generic
and that can cause dismissal of a candidate. Always remember not to send
similar resume to multiple employees; always try to make your resume a
surprise.
A personalized
and planned résumé is focused to the target audience’s needs.
4. Getting Too Elaborate With Formatting and Style
 |
| Elaborate Formatting Example |
“Formatting is a
key,” according to Hargett. Don’t ever try to make your important points with
irrelevant fonts and graphics as it can distract the reader. Your important
qualification should be in the bold font with italics, use of bullets and the
size of the font should be of the same shape and size.
“And make sure
your résumé style goes with your qualification and skill. It should have clean
lines and a different font color to highlight job titles. Boring language
should be always avoided; an example using the word ‘Developed’ over and over
can put your reader into sleep. You should maintain creative sentence in your
language.
5. Avoid vague writing
 |

You’ll never be
successful in your endeavor with a vague Resume. Use of too many vague words in
the resume can knock out the game. Lots of vague sentences can make employer
confused about what you have achieved up till now.
6. Omitting Exact Dates
Omitting exact
dates of employment can raise suspicion in employers and make it look like the
job seeker is trying to hide something insignificance. Career builder survey
found that, 27% of employers identified resumes that don’t include exact dates
of employment and this is the one of the most common resume mistake.
7. Not Including Skills
 |
| Skills add example |
A list of hard
skills on your resume and examples of how you put those skills to use in
previous positions is a great way to stand out from the pack of boring resume.
Rather than
making a “skills” section, always try to weave your skills into the
profile/summary and in a resume achievement section.
8 Use of an Objective Statement
 |

According to
current trend, the use of an objective statement is on the verge of extinction
and in some countries it has completely gone. It is because, it shows a dry and
monotonous way and its focus is completely on the candidate himself- for
career advancement, rather than how he can solve problems of the
potential employer.
