Career Connect ATL


Even a good resume can be hurt by simple mistakes.

 

Mistakes to Watch For

❌ Spelling or grammar errors
❌ Wrong phone number or email
❌ Very long paragraphs
❌ Too much personal information
❌ Listing duties instead of results

 

Better Approach

Instead of:
“Responsible for cleaning”

Try:
“Maintained a clean and organized workspace”

This sounds stronger and more professional.

 

Final Check

Before submitting:
✔ Read it out loud
✔ Ask someone to review it
✔ Double-check contact info

A clean, simple resume often works better than a complicated one.
