The first priority that you need to set if you want to learn how to make a resume is to avoid these (very) common mistakes:
1. Addressing the resume to the wrong… company / person
So you think that this does not happen? This is the most common mistake: addressing the resume to the wrong person or even to the wrong company. This is a surefire way to hit the bin. Make sure to check the contact details before you send your resume out.
2. Proofread your resume before sending it out
Another very critical error is not proofreading your grammar and correct spelling of what you write. How to expect an employer to give a responsibility in his company to somebody who does not even care to write correctly something for himself?
3. Having a “crappy” objective statements
Many candidates lose their readers right in the beginning. Whenever we find a statement such as “looking for a challenging position to enable me to contribute to organizational goals while offering an opportunity for growth and advancement” we just play office basketball with these resume as these statements are overused, general and do not focus on the major element: your employer.
4. Not adding value to your employer
Your objective must be “adding value to your employer”. Go through the web site, collect information about the company and the position you are applying for even before you send the resume and match your skills to what your future employer is really looking for.
One of the resource you will find extremely valuable to avoid such blunders and to learn how to make a resume is a book wrote by my friend Kevin Donlin who did not only compile the most effective tools to help you get hired but also make available a 30 minute audio recording called “How to Find a Great Job Fast”.
This audio book is on sale for $29.00 and he graciously allowed all my friend who want to learn how to make a resume and follow this link to listen to it for FREE online or to download it in MP3.

After working in the recruiting industry as a corporate employment specialist, professional recruiter and business owner of a job placement firm based in Illinois for over 16 years, I am amazed at how routine job seekers have become. They still do the same thing. They wait patiently for a job listing. They submit a resume. They wait patiently for someone to call. Wait patiently for another job listing. Submit a resume. Then, wait patiently for another person to call. (more…)
