livin kitten, it’s easy to get mixed up wondering if you should include hobbies. Definitely leave it off and save for a conversation in the interview if asked. Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much to offer these advices. I've been living in Irland for a week. I've just finish my degree and I've come from Spain to learn English and now I'm looking for a job to stay here at least one year. I'm going to avoid these mistakes in my Resume. ¡New subscriptor! (:
Learned a lot from this one. The top 10 resume mistakes are very valuable. My favorite was to include a professional profile rather than an objective statement. Thanks for sharing.
I teach English 12 and we are writing resumes, cover letters, and application essay during the 2nd quarter. Your video hit on some of the feedback points I wanted to make.
Boomer Benefits thanks for mentioning that! I agree. I’m still amazed at the mistakes I see in resume writing. Thank goodness these resume fixes are super simple. 😄
Hi Heather, I have a question- when writing about past employment history and dates, how would you suggest mentioning If your last job is current and you plan on maintaining it? For example, my situation is that I'm a personal trainer and will continue to train a few select clients on my off time.... I cannot figure out how to phrase it- and don't want to sound like my attention will be divided between the jobs? I appreciate any suggestions you might have! I find your videos very informative and helpful, thanks for your time:)
Really great tips on how not to write a resume. I didn't know these top 10 resume mistakes were so common. I'm definitely sharing this with my friends that are on the job hunt.
It's interesting to know that you shouldn't put your street address on your resume. I can see how this would be a security problem. Thanks for these top 10 resume mistakes.
Beyond Brave hi there! Yes, this is something that’s more recent. This tip is especially useful if you submit your resume to job search websites. Thanks for sharing!
I don't have any significant accomplishments in my previous job experience that anyone else hasn't already done at that same location. So what do I do about that situation? I've always just been a physical laborer doing what I had to do through the days. I wish I could say I've done some amazing things to help a company save time or money, but to my knowledge, I haven't.
Hi Matthew! Great question. I'm going to challenge you to think deeper about your previous job experience. I'm sure you accomplished things worth mentioning. Even as a laborer. Don't down play your skills, abilities, and talents. What's one thing you accomplished?
I prepred my resume in 3 pages becuase i had 5 years of exp. And 4 companies i worked so that i mentioned my role and responsibilities under each company along with other details. So that it is extended to 3 pages. My doubt was if i have 8 years exp. What i have to do? Please mam reply. Can i extend pages or what?
I review so many resumes. AHHHH the objective statement just stop!! Looking at someones online profile is more relatable than their resume. Plus you can see their attitude and work. The real them to others. Great tips for How NOT To Write A Resume Professor!
Another mistake to avoid that is not listed on the video: Don’t ever LIE or FALSIFY on a resume. Those employers can undergo candidate’s background check for verification.
Md Muzakkir, a profile photo is not a common thing in the USA. However, it might be different for you depending on your location. Some countries are okay with a headshot on a resume. You’d need to your research. Good luck!
Md Muzakkir, yes. In that case, you’ll probably want to include a photo. Make sure you checkout other resumes in your industry. This will give you a good idea. 😄
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for you feedback. The zip folder is the easiest way to deliver both the template and example word docs together. Any other suggestions?
Yes, I totally agree. It's more appropriate to have an email address that contains some variation of your first and last name. Anything that shows you are serious about your job search. Thanks for sharing.

I’m just trying to create a resume for Kroger for a summer job,
Playlist Master, awesome! The free template I offer is perfect for you. Have you has the chance to download it?
I review so many resumes. AHHHH the objective statement just stop!!
Looking at someones online profile is more relatable than their resume. Plus you can see their attitude and work. The real them to others.
Great tips for How NOT To Write A Resume Professor!
Bloggin Brandi, hello!! Aww, the pesky little objective statement. It’s a hard habit to break. That’s for sure. Thanks for your comments!
Could I use an IG profile instead of a LinkedIn because I don't have one?
Great question Kalen! I wouldn't recommend sharing your IG profile on your resume. What's holding you back from creating a LinkedIn profile?
@@ProfessorHeatherAustin I don't know I was thinking LinkedIn was similar to IG.
Another mistake to avoid that is not listed on the video: Don’t ever LIE or FALSIFY on a resume. Those employers can undergo candidate’s background check for verification.
You're great.
It's interesting to know that you shouldn't put your profile photo on your resume.
Md Muzakkir, a profile photo is not a common thing in the USA. However, it might be different for you depending on your location. Some countries are okay with a headshot on a resume. You’d need to your research. Good luck!
Oh I see, thanks for the info. I am Malaysian. In Malaysia, many of us put our profile photo in our resume.
Md Muzakkir, yes. In that case, you’ll probably want to include a photo. Make sure you checkout other resumes in your industry. This will give you a good idea. 😄
Any tip for Actuarial Science industry?
Md Muzakkir, yes, that sounds very analytical. Make sure you quantify your accomplishments as best you can using #”s, $’s and %’s.
The zip folder template is the first mistake.
Hi Jennifer! Thanks for you feedback. The zip folder is the easiest way to deliver both the template and example word docs together. Any other suggestions?
I also hate it when people write EMAIL: Name@mail.com
Yes, I totally agree. It's more appropriate to have an email address that contains some variation of your first and last name. Anything that shows you are serious about your job search. Thanks for sharing.
No I mean - tags to indicate what it is. like Telephone:
Blackboard English - Learn English aww yes! I see. I totally agree. An email and phone number does not need a title before it. Very well said!
Uhhhhhh I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to write references lol
Lol! Always put your references on a separate sheet and don’t say “references available upon request” on your resume. Good luck! 😊
The resume template comes to you as a zip folder. No thank you.
Can you elaborate? Not sure of better method to deliver 2 files in one?
