How to Write a #Resumé That Isn’t Annoyingly Terrible Here are several examples of mistakes that make an annoying resume. Long, Extensive Work History – If you held ten jobs, and you list ten jobs on your resume, chances are you are immediately out of the running. The only reason an employer would go through all of those jobs is if each one is extremely relevant and you are applying to some type of executive position, and even then it is unlikely. Keep your resume brief using only your relevant jobs. Sloppy Design – If you chose bad fonts or poor colors or you use blocky paragraphs, or anything that detracts from your content, you are going to be ignored pretty quick. Resumes that are poorly designed are extremely annoying, and no hiring manager wants to search to find the important points. They should jump off the page. Clichés – Clichés are unbearably annoying for hiring managers. If they read a hundred resumes that all say the same thing, they are going to find yours and want to gauge their eyes out. Be original and unique, and try not to sound like everyone else.#Internitup
