1. Having a resume that is too long – You need to be brief while still stating your applicable skills. Keep your resume to one page. If you have a lengthy employment history you might get away with 2 pages, but only briefly list the older skills. If you can’t highlight your talents on one page, you’re giving the message that you are unorganized and tend to go on and on.
2. Using fancy paper – This is not necessary and although it might not hurt you too much it certainly won’t help if your own skills aren’t up to snuff.
3. Using a fancy font – Same as above. Don’t try to set yourself apart with a different font on your resume. Set yourself apart by being uniquely qualified.
4. Filling the resume with extraneous information – No one really cares that you were a singing waiter if you’re applying for an software engineering job.

6. Typos and misspellings – You would think this is an obvious one, but you’d be amazed at the number of resumes received with big blaring mistakes.
7. Lying on your resume – “Enhanced” credentials are basically lies. You wouldn’t believe how many people list diplomas or certifications that they do not have! These things can be easily checked on and if they find out you are lying you will never get an opportunity with that company again!
8. Attachments – There is no need to send any attachments with your resume. If you are granted an interview, at that time you could bring in whatever it is you’re so hot to get into the selecting official’s hands. The person accepting the resumes will likely just throw it in the round file anyway.
