Facts about effective interviewing

Avoid these resume bloopers in your quest for a job interview

Here are several common mistakes made by job applicants. Some of these errors make the interviewing company question your competence and / or work ethic. Make sure you avoid them.

Overly long paragraphs. They are difficult to read and will likely not be read by recruiters who are quickly scanning resumes. Use bullet points and short paragraphs instead.
Resumes over two pages long. No one wants to read them.
Spelling or grammatical errors. The recruiter will probably take it to mean you don't have an eye for detail.
Adding unnecessary information like hobbies, your place of birth, etc. Focus on accomplishments instead.
A resume that does not match the job requirements. Why bother sending one like that?
Lying about anything at all. Remember, companies can and often do cross-check information. If you're caught, it reflects very poorly on you.
Putting in too much detail, especially on what your duties were. Describe your role briefly and spend time listing what you accomplished in previous jobs.
