Never put these 3 outdated sections at the top of your resume !- 15-Jun-2022

Font Size :

Landing your dream job is all about making a good first impression, and much of that has to do with what you put at the very top of your resume. Unfortunately, too many job seekers dont utilize this space to their best advantage.


One of the biggest mistakes job seekers make is starting their resumes with long-winded, boring and self-important paragraphs about how great they are. 


Here are three outdated resume techniques that no longer work with hiring managers:


Summary statements: The responsibilities and accomplishments listed in the job history section of your resume should already paint a picture of what you bring to the table, so theres no need to amplify it with a long preface.


Objective statements: This doesnt offer any new or useful information. Whats the point of spelling out the obvious fact that youre interested in the position?


What youre looking for in a job: Even if youre a poach-worthy name in the industry, explaining what you want in a job just makes you look like an amateur. Your goal is to sell how you can help the company, not the other way around.


What to do instead...


The most effective way to convince employers to read your entire resume is to start with one sentence that broadly references your background and at least two of strongest skills.


Then, below that, insert a column of six to eight more specific skills that are measurable.
