Things you should not do with your resume:
  • Don’t include personal references or hobbies
  • Don’t include your Social Security number
  • Don’t include a cover sheet (unless you have important information that cannot be included on your resume)
  • Don’t use a “Job Objective.” This is normally on a resume for someone seeking a “captive” position. A “Job Objective” tells the firms what you want from them, a “Summary” tells what you can do.
  • Don’t exaggerate your experience
  • Don’t show salary or pay information
  • Don’t offer explanations for leaving prior employers
  • Don’t use your photograph
  • Don’t use uncommon abbreviations
