resumes for every single job opening. You

3- PROVIDE EVIDENCE
One common mistake applicants make is
throwing in a lot of fancy phrases like 'Great
team-worker,' 'Great communications skills.' EXAMPLE
The issue here is that there is no evidence Don't write: Customer Service
provided. Experience
What to write instead:

Always provide evidence of how you present Provided excellent customer

Avoid having a whole list or paragraph full of

buzzwords on your resume without any
evidence to back them up. These will simply
get overlooked.

While it's important to know what to include
on your resume, it's equally important to
know what to leave out. Before you include something
on your resume, ask yourself:

isn't the one who knows the most about the
job. This is because a lot of companies will

9 - DO NOT SPAM YOUR RESUME

I know most people who first get into the job
market make this one critical mistake.
Individually tailor your resume
to every single job you apply to.
They make one 'master' resume and they
decide they're going to shoot that resume to Believe me, it is very easy for
employers to tell that you have

Write your resume in a way

Sound familiar? Don't do this! Every single that speaks to that particular
job posting will have different job duties, position in that particular

different job requirements, and nuances. If
you shoot one resume everywhere, your
resume may be a little relevant a few
employers, but it won't be a standout resume
to any one employer.
