If looking for a job is hard enough already, then you're not investing and paying enough time and attention on your resume. Everyone needs a killer one to get their foot in the door. Here's how you can avoid your resume not being in the bottom of the pile or in a trashcan.

1. Attach files properly. Don't do this.

2. Everyone loves brevity because they've got no time to read everything. But do it properly.

4. "Provided snakes" might not be the experience you want to list down. Word it another way.

5. Talk about your education.

7. List personal, non-career achievements. ESP shouldn't be one of them.
