Resume Blunders That Can Cost Your Job
2. Excessive Information:
Contrary to the popular perspective, excessive information is not a way to stand out; it actually acts as detraction from an individual’s core message and strengths.
It is advisable to simplify the resume to incorporate only those key skills that you want to leverage. This indirectly implies that you have a lot more to offer, but the recruiters need to contact you to find out, what exactly you want the resume to do. If the recruiter is satisfied with your inherent potential, then they are bound to contact you for a phone screen to get more details.

3. Un-Inspiring Top-Fold:
Recent studies have showed that most of the hiring managers decide the eligibility of a job seeker within the first 6 – 13 seconds of reading the resume. Hence it is advisable to create a top-fold, i.e. first third of one’s resume, with well formatted text-sensitive characters and incorporate key skill sets that catch the recruiter’s attention.
