Readings #2 JCOM 2160

I thought the common mistakes made on a resume was the most helpful.  I have made just about every one of the mistakes they listed and I learned a lot.  I learned not to say "references available upon request" at the bottom of the resume becuase it is implied just by turning in a resume.  I also learned it is bad to list things.  Which is something I have done on just about every resume I have ever made.  Don't list things such as responsibilities or duties.  You should state clear examples and state exactly how you improved your previous companies.  I also learned that you need to keep it to one page.  My current resume is two.  An interviewer will only take about a ten second look at your resume, so if it doesn't stand out within ten seconds then you probably don't need it on your resume. It is just taking up space.
