The mistakes that can kill your resume

There are some very basic mistakes that can almost guarantee that your resume will get thrown in the bin. Watch out for the following:

Too long - employers are busy people…they don’t have time to read a 6 page resume full of useless filler material.

Too short - ideally your resume should be at least one full page and no more than two. Any shorter than this and you may come across as an under-achiever.

Spelling & punctuation errors - this is my (and everybody else’s) pet hate. The employer will think: “how does this person propose to carry out their responsibilities effectively if they can’t even provide an error-free resume?”.

Not highlighting achievements - the employer doesn’t care what your title was…they care about what you achieved. How much money did you save the employer?
