What annoys in the resume

Typos in resume

Errors do not add points. If a person is inattentive when writing a resume, he is unlikely to show maximum responsibility in his work.
Even more dubious quotes - in our article. Read and do not repeat.

Tip: Before saving and publishing your resume, read it again. If you are not sure, check the text in an editor, such as Word.


Compressed Resume Information

According to the functionality, which is described formally, in general phrases and without details, it is difficult for a recruiter to conclude what the candidate specifically did.

An example of poorly described job responsibilities from the driver’s resume: “Transportation in the region, paperwork ...” The recruiter should not and will not think over what you wanted to write.

Tip: describe the responsibilities in a detailed, but to the point. An example of a well-described job description of a driver: “Transportation of employees and the first person of the company; compilation of optimal and alternative routes; filling out travel sheets, preparing advance reports ... ”So we scheduled the transportation and drawing up papers from the top example.
Additionally write achievements in the resume, operate with numbers. How to do this, read the article.

Unsuccessful words

Irritant words in the “About Me” section of the resume: “sociable”, “stress-resistant”, “proactive”, “efficient”, “purposeful”, etc. According to recruiters, these phrases are commonplace and meaningless.

Tip: replace annoying words with meaningful phrases: “I am a seller with a lot of experience. I constantly improve my qualifications, attend classes on clothing styles, follow trends, therefore I am well guided in fashion trends and customer requests. I appreciate the good relations in the team, and with the customers ... ”In the example, we actually replaced a few banal phrases with understandable characteristics of the applicant.

Use a superword for effective job search. You will find examples in our article.

Frivolous e-mail and inappropriate humor

“Assistant, left / right hand”
“The profession is not the best ... and not for me, it just happened according to the circumstances”
"Not a freak neither moral nor outwardly" ...

Such things in the resume make one doubt the seriousness of the candidate and his intentions regarding the job.

Tip: create a separate mail that you can leave in the resume. A minimum of creativity. Be restrained.
Recruiters look at dozens of resumes daily. Help them see the essence of yours (experience, achievements, professional skills). You can joke even after getting a job.

Hobbies not related to future work

“I do not like theater, I go to the cinema”
“I love fishing”
“I raft two times a year” ...

Information that is not relevant to future work causes misunderstanding. And does not characterize the professionalism of the applicant.

Tip: if you want to indicate a hobby in the resume, do it at the end of the resume, do not write about dangerous hobbies, mention hobbies that may be useful in your work. For example, an analyst can write about a love of chess and so on.
Writing a resume is an interesting and serious job. Be careful. After all, a resume is your first contact with potential employers. It can either attract the attention of a recruiter or not.
