6 SECONDS YOU RESUME HAVE ONLY 6 SECONDS TO PASS FIT / NO-FIT DECISION BY HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGERS.

1. PERSONAL PRONOUNS You should avoid these personal words like "I", "me", "she", "my". Because it's understood that everything is about you in the resume or CV.

2. REFERENCE It's a waste of time to write "references upon request". Because if the hiring person wants, he/she will ask you.

3. MULTIPLE CELL NUMBERS Only one number should be on your Resume. And that will be your cell phone number.

4. WORK EXPERIENCE NOT RELEVANT TO THE JOB Only include work experience which is relevant to the job. Employer will not consider this unless it shows additional skill which can be helpful for the job.
