The most common resume errors

Typos
It happens over and over again. More than 50% of resumes have typos, alas.

Volume
“A good rule,” says Laszlo, “is one page resume for every ten years of work.”

Creative design
When it comes to resumes, content is definitely more important than style. Documents designed in a strict, traditional style are easier and more convenient to read than overly creative. And by the way, make sure the document looks the same in any text editor.

Remember what our mothers tell us: “Honesty is the best policy.” Even if it seems to you that some part of your biography shows you not from the best side, all the same be true.
