Here are some things you can do on your resume that will ensure that you do *not* get called in for an interview:

* Make spelling mistakes and grammatical errors... If you are careless enough to send out your resume with mistakes, hiring managers will assume that you'll never care enough about the work you send out representing their company.

* Have an opening objective... Objectives do nothing to differentiate you from any other candidate, except possibly in a negative way.

* Include personal attributes and information... Listing personal information such as height, weight and age (barring jobs for models) shows a real lack of professionalism. Listing your hobbies and likes is again totally irrelevant. If you include useless, unneeded information like this on your resume, what sort of useless results can the hiring manager expect from you if you are working for them?

* Include alse information... Not only is lying on your resume unfair and dishonest, it's also a very bad idea. Most companies verify dates of employment and schooling, often times after you start your new job. If you have lied, you will get fired. It's that simple. And then you risk having a gap on your resume.

* Have unexplained gaps in your work history... Gaps in your work history are fine; this is a common occurrence. But if you have gaps, you must always explain why: personal reasons, had kids, traveled extensively, etc. They don't need to be great reasons, but hiring managers will usually skip people who don't bother to explain what they were doing during employment gaps.

* Be Unprofessional... Using colored paper, cutesy fonts, links to personal web sites and improper e-mail addresses are all unprofessional and are a definite turn off to hiring managers. If you think you'll get hired anywhere using an email address of beerchugger@aol.com, think again.
