The Top 10 Resume Mistakes Costing You the Job (INFOGRAPHIC)
I recently did my own market research and surveyed 200 professionals and executives. I asked them one question:
“What’s your biggest struggle or challenge when it comes to writing your resume?”
The number one response: MISTAKES.
They were all worried about making mistakes. Many of them even shared exactly what types of mistakes they were worried about making; spelling, grammar, wording, content, length, format, design, and keywords were among the most frequently mentioned.
So, I set out to create an infographic to help. I figured if 200 people were all worried about this one thing, chances were good plenty of other people were concerned too. So, if you’re worried about making a common mistake on your resume check out this infographic for help.
This isn’t an all-inclusive infographic so not every mistake that can possible be made is included here. I’d love to hear what mistakes you’ve seen (or made) on a resume that’s not on the list. Comment below and let me know and feel free to share this so others can benefit too.
