What does a typical resume look like? How do I know if my resume is up to par?
I wrote a resume but I am not sure if it is properly formatted, too vague, too broad, etc. I would love an example of a model resume from the CareerVillage.org community! #thinkingforward

By avoiding following mistakes on resume you can make it effective :
Here we share 9 things that could be wrong with your resume or CV and you must avoid them while editing the same.
1. Career Objective:
Replace an objective statement with a professional appearing profile; something that summarises the best parts of your background and highlights you best. Set the correct tone/theme and use the rest of the resume as a proof.
2. Mailing Address:
You don’t have a place for this. You don’t need to put that and also as it might for security reasons, better do not mention.
3. Several Telephone Numbers:
Mention the number at which you can be consistently reached. If they want multiple ways to contact you, they would ask for it.
4. Grammatical error:
It might look like a small thing, but even the smallest error can be a turn off for a keen-eyed recruiter.
