Mistakes People Make in Resume

Making Resumes too long or too short

• Resumes should be ideally 1 or 2 pages long
• More than 2 pages is a strict no
• No one has time to read such long 3-4 page resumes

Empty spaces in Resume

• Now a days the trend is to use long sentences in small font
• It gives impression psychologically that person has good knowledge and skills for the job

Negative points not hidden

• If there is gap in resume, Year should not be mentioned
  Example
  1. If a person cleared Class 10 in 2014 AND Class 12 in 2017,no need to mention ear in resume as it is a negative point
  2. Similarly you can hide period for which you are not working

Don't Write Objective, Instead Write Career Summary

• Writing 'Objective' has become very old fashioned
• Remove Objective, Instead Write Career Summary/Professional Synopsis
• In this ,write 2-3- lines about you-Your qualification, work experiences, your skills and competencies

Here write about points

• Write About your good technical skills like
• Good knowledge of GST
• Working Experience in Tally Erp 9
• Practical Application of Advanced Excel formulas

Write Work Known not Knowledge

• Instead of Writing
• 'Knowledge of GST'
• We can write
• 'Practical Exposure to GST Compliance like GST Return filing'
• It gives a better impression

Do Mention Key Skills/Area of Excellence

This should be in Bullet Points about topics you know

Example

• GST
• TDS
• Payroll
• Income Tax
• Balance Sheet Finalizatin
• Tally
• Advanced Excel
