10 phrases to ban from your resume
With a shaky job market and more applicants than job openings, those looking for a job need all of the help they can get. So start with having the best resume you can have.
First of all, make sure that it is updated with your most current information and job experience. Include any new skills or training that you may have acquired while out of a job.
Also, pay attention to some of the terms and language that you use. Remember that there are a lot of resumes out there, and you want to stand out from the crowd. Check out this article about common phrases that should be banned from your resume, and eradicate any from yours.
Don't forget to check it and recheck it for typos and mistakes. Ask a friend or family member you trust and has an eye for detail to make sure it is clean of any errors. Your resume is your first impression. So make sure that it is the best it can be before sending it out to potential employers.
