What are 4 common resume mistakes?

By Zippia Team - Dec. 7, 2022

The 4 common resume mistakes are typos/bad grammar, submitting a resume that's not tailored for the job description, failing to include quantifiable results (numbers), and using an unprofessional email address.

Having just one grammatical mistake or typo is enough for up to 20% of hiring managers and recruiters to reject you as a candidate. Fortunately, most of these errors can be avoided through simple proofreading, so be sure to look over your resume a few times before submitting it. Further, having an add-on like Grammarly, or having a friend look over your resume for you, can provide you with even more valuable feedback.
