One of the most common New Year’s resolutions is getting a new job. That means updating your resume. And it turns out you’re probably DOING it wrong.
A new survey asked people what they think is important for their resume . . . and asked recruiters and hiring managers what’s ACTUALLY important.
Here are the five things we THINK are important but AREN’T:
Keeping it under two pages . . . having volunteering experience . . . including soft skills like “creativity” and “communication” . . . listing personal interests . . . and worrying about whether to list your education or experience first. Don’t stress about those.
And here are the five things we DON’T think are important but ARE:
Listing all your job titles at the same company . . . using industry terms . . . putting details about your achievements . . . typos . . . and mistakes in grammar. Make sure you DO focus on those.
