I’ve been reviewing resumes for 26 years. These are the 5 biggest mistakes

1. No LinkedIn profile. Your LinkedIn should be in the top section of your
resume, where your contact information (and professional website, if you
have one) is displayed (показаны).
Employers want people who are serious about advancing (иметь прогресс) in
their careers. This means optimizing your professional network
(профессиональные контакты/сеть) and proudly showcasing
(демонстрировать) your accomplishments online.
Make sure you update your LinkedIn, too. Remember, your resume should
feature (показывать) information that’s relevant to the specific job you’re
applying for, while your LinkedIn should appeal (понравится) to a wider
audience and paint a more complete picture of your background (показать
более полную картину вашего опыта) and skills.
2. Awkward formatting and poor grammar. Here are some of the most
common formatting and grammar mistakes to watch for:
- Using first person pronouns (местоимения первого лица). The
standard, accepted practice (общепринятая практика) is to leave out (не
использовать) personal pronouns like “I,” “my,” and “me.” So instead of
saying “I spearheaded (возглавил) digital marketing campaigns,” just say
“Spearheaded marketing campaigns.”
- Spelling out numbers (написать о показателях). This makes it hard
for hiring managers to skim through (просмотреть) resumes for
quantifiable and measurable accomplishments (исчисляемые и
измеримые). It also takes up valuable space (занимает много места).
- Not starting bullet points with a strong action verb (не начинать
список без хорошей побудительной фразы/глагола). Some
examples of action verbs to consider: Assisted, oversaw (курировал),
utilized (использовал), led and analyzed.
- Using the wrong tense. While this seems like a simple grammar fix, it’s
a mistake many job seekers make. Always use present tense when
describing your current work, and past tense for previous jobs.
- Too long or too short. Keep your resume length (длина) between one
and two full pages. If you have little experience and are struggling to
