If you’re wanting to move into a new career, you have to have a resume that stands out. It’s part of a successful job search strategy. And what hiring managers notice first is not necessarily your content or work history, but your mistakes. So you want to stand out for the right reasons - a clear, concise, error-free resume. You don’t want to stand out for the wrong reasons - a resume full of common mistakes that will get you passed over. 

In this episode, you'll hear about these 5 common resume mistakes:

1. Starting a resume with a vague Objective Statement.
2. Submitting a resume full of errors.
3. Using a resume template (not tailored to target organizations).
4. Using a poor presentation (cheap paper and staples).
5. Choosing the wrong format (Chronological or functional).

You'll also hear about 5 reasons the phone isn't ringing (and why it's not your fault).
