I recently sat in on a panel of HR professionals and recruiters to hear what types of resume mistakes quickly land job seekers in the "no pile." Here's the list: 1. spelling errors, typos, and poor grammar 2. omitted or inaccurate dates 3. job explanations that are too duty oriented 4. incomplete contact information 5. inappropriate email addresses 6. functional resumes 7. resumes that are longer than 2 pages 8. long, run-on paragraphs 9. resumes from candidates that don't qualify for the position 10. the inclusion of information that is not relevant to their open position
