Common Resume Mistakes

Here are a couple of COMMON Resume Mistakes:

Spelling Company Names Incorrectly
A job applicant assumed she correctly remembered the names of all the companies she worked for. But she didn’t; she misspelled two of them. Mistakes like that make recruiters and hiring managers wonder if the resume is truthful.

Being Inconsistent

A sales executive described his success at landing multi-million dollar contracts for various companies. But each time he listed a dollar amount, he changed the form: $1 million; $2M; $3,000,000. Another example would be the date format you use when listing employment history: Jan 2013, 2/2010 4/4/14. This is one that you really want to hone in on and make sure you address while proofreading your resume.
