Resume Writing - Resume Don'ts
Resume Design, Development, Templates and Cover Letters
|
The following is a list of things not to do when writing your resume: • Don't forget a Career Summary. • Don't use slang (jargon). • Don't use I; it is implied. (This rule does not apply in your cover or thank you letter). • Don't use long sentences - bullets are complete thoughts, not complete sentences. • Don't use paragraph format - always use bullets, they are much easier to read and easier for the human eye to scan. • Don't be too detailed - stick to the basics. • Don't start a bullet with "responsible for" or "responsibilities included". Being responsible for something is different than actually doing it. Replace it with on-the-job accomplishments using action verbs to describe exactly what you did. This is the fastest way to improve your resume. • Don't go back more than 10 - 15 years. • Don't take about the success of the group you worked with. Focus on how you contributed to the success of the group you worked in. • Don't cram it all on one page, two pages are acceptable - don't forget your name on the second page! • Don't include your high school education, it is not necessary especially if you have a college education or work experience. • Don't list references or include the phrase "References Available upon Request". They will specically ask for references if they are required. • Don't provide more information than requested (salary information, written testimonies, references). • Don't list sex, weight, religion, marital status, number of children, hobbies, or social interests. • Don't include physical, health, or appearance information unless related to position. • Don't use dark colored paper, it doesn't fax or scan well. • Don't use any resume template: they make updating and adding information difficult. |
