I decided to follow the requests of many of my faithful readers and add a Jobs category to ajsnetworking.com. It was with much trepidation that I did this, since it is definitely not an area of my expertise. But I will certainly lean on the input of you readers and some excellent research sources.

Enjoy this first post in the category – the top mistakes the top recruiters see in resumes today!

• Typos and/or grammatical errors
• Overly causal tone
• Jargon/cliches
• Two-plus pages
• “Snazzy” backgrounds or borders
• Writing in the third person
• Clip art or emojis
• Cringeworthy quotes
• Unprofessional e-mail addresses
• Unprofessional fonts

Avoid these for sure!
