55 Mistakes Job Seekers Make On Their
Resume
By: Jessica Holbrook Hernandez via Careerealism
I’m sitting in front of my computer trying to
think of a new way to say the same things I’ve
already said a million times.
I think I’m beginning to feel border line
preachy with my resume and cover letter ad-
vice.
But I also feel a duty to share with job seekers
the blunders and mistakes they make that pro-
hibit them from getting the interview and ulti-
mately the
offer.
Mistakes Job
Seekers Make
On Their
Resume
After ten years of working as a human
resources manager and recruiter, I’ve seen my
fair share of job seeker mistakes. So, here’s my
list of the five biggest mistakes job seekers
make on their resume:
Mistake #1: Using Outdated Formatting
The first impression your resume gives is
critical. How do you want the hiring manager
to perceive you? Professional and accom-
plished? Or sloppy and disorganized? Old and
outdated formats only reflect poorly on you as
a viable candidate for the position.
Mistake #2: Using An Objective If your resume has an objective please
stop. That is an outdated practice no longer
relevant in today’s job market. Objectives will
only land you in the “bland, just like everyone
else pile” not the “oh yeah, don’t let me forget
to call them today pile.”
Mistake #3: Forgetting Important Keywords
Don’t forget to use industry specific key-
words. Also make sure you know where to put
them. The top section of the resume is the
best place because that’s where the hiring
manager’s eyes will be drawn. Short keywords
are a great way to tell the employer about
your expertise.
Mistake #4: It’s Too Long (Or Too Short) Too long or too short and you’ve lost
your hiring manager. Keep paragraphs to 3-5
sentences and the same goes for the number
of bullets you use in your resume. Why? Any
longer and you lose the audience in infor-
mation overload...and shorter, you appear un-
derqualified.
OFFICE OF CAREER SERVICES | ISSUE 8 | VOLUME 3 | YEAR 2015

Mistake #5: Listing Responsibilities Instead of Accomplishments
The hiring manager doesn’t want
your resume to be an exact repeat of
the job ad. They already know what
they need. Utilize statements that
demonstrate your expertise and ac-
complishments in a given area.
Certainly there was a challenge
you faced while working for your cur-
rent or previous employers. How did
you address these challenges and what
were the results. The answers to these
questions make for GREAT bullet points
on a resume.
