If you want to have an effective resume, here are some tips on what not to do:
10. You write your resume in the shape of a rocket on a launching pad.
9. You print your resume on a “sandwich board” (poster) and wear it as you walk up and down the street.
8. You don’t bother to proofread your resume and end up with numerous typos.
7. Your resume is 8 pages long.
6. Your CV has misspellings and grammar mistakes.
5. You provide unnecessary information and, by doing so, overwhelm or even confuse the reader.
4. You use a pricey service to write your CV or resume, but the result doesn’t sound like you.
3. You don’t know what a potential employer is looking for and, therefore, don’t tailor your CV or resume to the position you’re applying for.
2. At the start, your CV or resume doesn’t state why you’re a good fit with a potential employer’s opportunity.
1. You lie about your education, work experience, or both.
