Employment BOOST Expert Resume Writers have published the top resume mistakes to avoid in 2015. The resume writing services firm gathered data from 2014 based on national and global candidate searches from JMJ Phillip and associated brands.
“We spoke with those that have their feet on the ground all day, the recruiters and executive search consultants to learn about where people are going wrong with their resumes. When you think about it, recruiters can see as many as 1000+ resumes a month, dealing with dozens of interviews and clients. From our view it just makes sense to use real experiences to develop this report. The feedback they hear from clients is all the good stuff candidates don’t get to hear; they just get the rejection letter. Hopefully these real life resume insights will help many people in 2015,” said Kristin Scarth, Career Services Manager at Employment BOOST.
The top resume mistakes to avoid in 2015 report doesn’t just touch surface level items, it also brings up difficult things going on in the employment market right now such as ageism.
“The crazy trend it seems is every company wants that young rising star with 10 years of experience. It is almost all the way across the board, companies want young up and comers, they don’t want to see the people with 20-30 years of experience. We continue to hear job seekers repeat that same story so making sure your career history is not too long has become really important as companies could be ruling you out if you had a job listed in the 80’s or 90’s. You just have to play the game right,” said Connie Kernen, Vice President of Career Services and Management.
