  • 1: Standard resume for all jobs and posts:
  • Using the same old resume for all kinds of jobs and positions is the single biggest mistake any job seeker can do, to avoid this we need to have several sample resumes tailored for the jobs and positions for which we are applying.

  • 2: Using proper keywords in the resume:
  • Every resume is a collection of words and the only way the employer gets to your resume is through search done on different career boards and job sites. If your resume is not having the keyword which the recruiter is looking for your resume will never be short listed. So make sure you have all the right keywords which recruiters use to search for job seekers are added to your resume.

  • 3: No thorough proofreading
  • A resume full of mistakes suggests you care neither about the quality of your work nor the impression it makes. An employer wants someone who produces exemplary work and will be an excellent representative of the company. So please make sure your resume if proof read and by the way it takes 2 minutes of your time to do this.
