So here is a list of errors to avoid.
Lack of necessary information
Many applicants have misconceptions about the importance of certain skills for the employer, so they do not reflect their key competencies in the resume. Find out and demonstrate to recruiters that you have the necessary knowledge, skills and experience - this will help the employer to understand that you are the very suitable candidate for the vacancy.
Not enough evidence
Just declaring your merits is not enough - you also need to confirm them. For example, in addition to the statement that you have good communication skills, you should give an example of their effective use: “I conduct a corporate monthly blog as part of our strategy for promoting in social networks.”
Too general information
Many job seekers make too general a summary, as they say, for all occasions. However, if you did not clearly indicate your purpose and did not describe the specific functionality, recruiters will find it difficult to find out exactly which vacancy to offer you.
Grammatical errors
Nine out of ten resumes contain errors, and only on this basis their authors are not considered serious candidates. The document should be impeccable if your goal is to demonstrate your high professionalism and attention to detail. Always give the finished resume for examination to familiar philologists.
Negative information
The summary should include only positive information about yourself. Never criticize past employers or talk about difficulties or disappointments (the exception is success stories when difficulties have been successfully overcome).
Wrong word choice
Slangy, inappropriate expressions or unsuccessful cliches can spoil the impression of even the strongest candidate. Use strong, effective verbs to describe your actions (created, initiated, etc.) - this will energize your resume and confirm the impression of you as an active candidate.
Problems finding a resume
All recruiters use search keywords, so make sure they are on your resume as well.
