Improve Your Resume

However confident you may be, no matter how much experience you have, you'll never get as far as an interview unless you have a good resume.

You should tailor your resume to highlight the qualifications, work experience and any education that you've had that best represents the type of work you are applying for. You should also include any other work experience that you've had, as well as any accomplishments that you have made in your field.

Of course there also quite a few things that recruiters hate to see on resumes as well. Many people do not think that recruiters really go all the way through a resume, but they really do. Recruiters have certain pet peeves when it comes to reading a resume. I've included a list of some of the pet peeves that you should avoid when putting your resume together. These are the things that recruiters hate to see.

* Summaries that are hard to follow and understand are annoying to recruiters. Keep your summary easy and brief.

* Adding unnecessary information on a resume like your hobbies is completely useless. You should save that section to describe any accomplishments that you have made in your field.

* Resumes that have too much detail when talking about your previous duties are a waste of your time. Duties are generally just sifted through. They are rarely given very much attention, just enough to give the recruiter an idea of what you have done in the past.

* If your resume is more than two pages long, it will not be fully read by an employer. They are busy people and it's just the way it is.

* Lying or putting misleading information on your resume is a major no-no. There are always ways for a recruiter to check up on you and many do, so don't lie. Getting caught in a lie on a resume just says that you can't be trusted.
