Seven resume mistakes that cost you interviews

Recruiters spend less than a minute on a first read. These mistakes are the most common reasons good candidates are skipped.

1. No clear career objective or headline.
2. Responsibilities listed instead of results achieved.
3. Unexplained career breaks.
4. Inconsistent dates and job titles.
5. Generic skills with no evidence.
6. Too long for your experience level.
7. Contact details that are hard to find.

Our resume submission form helps you avoid most of these by structuring experience, qualifications and career breaks for you.
