Four Fatal Mistakes You Should Never Make on Your Resume!
- Forgetting to put your contact info on the resume sounds like a silly mistake, but it happens. Needless to say, it’s a fatal error.
- Typos in your e-mail address and phone number will definitely hinder your chances of landing a job. Not only is it unprofessional, but it could result in your resume ending up on the trash pile!
- Use a professional e-mail address, preferably the one that contains your name. catlover85@mail.com or drama_queen2010@mail.com and the like are appropriate for personal communication with family and friends, but they don’t belong on a resume.
- Think twice before including links to your social media profiles. Make sure that they will serve you well and contain no controversial or rude material. Remember it is not just about what you post on Facebook, but also who your friends are, and what they post! Portfolios, industry blogs, and LinkedIn are acceptable, but only if they complement your professional image and are relevant to the position.
