Common Resume Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Your resume isn’t just a document—it’s your first impression. A hiring manager spends seconds scanning it before deciding whether to move forward or move on. So, what makes them stop and take a closer look? The truth is, most resumes get tossed because of simple, avoidable mistakes. Maybe your formatting is working against you. Maybe your bullet points aren’t making an impact. Maybe you’re underselling your skills without realizing it. This workshop breaks down the most common resume pitfalls and, more importantly, shows you exactly how to fix them.
