Submitting an impressive resumé is key to landing a job, however many applicants often send old, outdated, or mistake-riddled resumés without out a second thought. Dan Bobst recently spoke with Jobhero.com on how to make a good impression on paper. Some basic strategies include using immaculate spelling and grammar, having clear solid organization, displaying relevant skills, and showing professional growth. One thing most managers said was to leave out the extra-personal stuff:
“I’ve seen resumes that list where someone last vacationed and
what movies they like. That kind of information isn’t really
necessary to determine if someone is a qualified match to set up
an interview.”
