Bad Things

The Laundry List

Expect your resume to be read by a machine? Here's what to avoid when writing for keyword-based searches.

Embellishment

Think "managed beverage procurement for fraternity social functions" makes your midnight beer-runs sound managerial? Think again.

Inappropriate Objectives

I may be an exception, but if I see an "objective" section that doesn't fit with the job I'm offering, I assume the worst. And if it sounds cool to you but has no meaning to me, you've got a problem.
