Five Common Resume Writing Mistakes
Believing that visually great design will overshadow poor writing or bad grammar.
Forgetting that content is critical; the design is optional.
Placing contact information in a header section or text box can result in deleted contact information once the document is scanned by an applicant tracking software (ATS).
Using a generic master resume for a variety of jobs. A master resume is ineffective and can be highly time-consuming to make necessary edits.
Stating job responsibilities or duties instead of providing contributions. Show what you did, don’t focus on the generic responsibility.
