4 RESUMES THAT TOTALLY FAILED

1. The Extremely Exaggerated Resume

Flat out lying—or even exaggerating—on your resume won’t get you very far. If anything comes off as a bit suspicious, the person reviewing your resume will begin to doubt the veracity of the rest of your accomplishments as well. And even if lying does get you the job, it will eventually come back to bite you.

2. The Centered Resume

Remember when I said I’ve seen some beautiful resumes? One thing all of those resumes had in common is that they never sacrificed readability for the sake of design. That means they all aligned their text to the left so that my eyes would know exactly where to return to once I was done with a line of text.

3. The TMI Resume

Usually, this only happens when a job applicant just doesn’t know any better, so consider this your heads up: Do not include personal information like your photo, your sexual orientation, your marital status, or your religious affiliations on your resume. Antidiscrimination laws in the U.S. prevent employers from being allowed to ask for this information during the job search process, so if they see this info on your resume, they will not engage. It’s an automatic toss.

4. The 5-Page Resume

Adding more pages to your resume will not make you seem more qualified. In fact, it’s just the opposite—it typically makes you look like you’re overcompensating.
