4 Things To Stop Putting On Your Resume

3 MINUTE READ

When it comes to resumes, are they important or are they not? Sure they are important, but they are not the be all and end all. Some times they are your first impression and the only chance you have at getting in to round 2 especially if the process is automated. 

I resonated with how this Forbes article summed it up: 'I like to think of resumes as being like the first inning of a baseball game.

Here are the 4 things to Stop Putting on Your Resume - click below for the full article on Forbes.

1. Cute things or unnecessary design - this is not the time to be cute.
