Job seekers should focus on what they can do rather than what they have done
Making a strong resume can be challenging, but Melissa Ondrovcik from the Employment Education Centre says many people make avoidable mistakes.
She shared the five biggest errors job seekers should watch out for.
Ondrovcik said the top mistake is not targeting resumes to specific employers.
Another common error is listing tasks instead of highlighting skills.
Job seekers should focus on what they can do rather than what they have done.
Resumes that are too long or dense may never get read, she warned.
Ondrovcik also noted that failing to show concrete achievements can hurt applications.
Finally, she stressed the importance of understanding what an employer wants, including researching companies and networking.
