- Exaggerating is the same as lying, so don’t make things up.
- Do not stuff your resume with jargon. Use words that are clear and accurate and can easily be understood by any entry-level human resource person.
- Do not rely completely on the spell-check. Spell-check will, for example, miss out from vs. form. Use a dictionary.
- Do not skip proofreading your resume. Give a slow reading to your document from start to finish to check for errors.
- Don’t skip the step of having other experienced and qualified persons review your resume. Have your document reviewed by people who have experience in recruiting and also those known for good language skills.
