Presenting oneself to an employee-seeking audience can be a difficult task; knowing what to list, what to eliminate, what to highlight, and in what order to place this information can be difficult even for some experienced professionals.

Our critique guidelines expose some of the worst résumé problems.  These errors can cause a résumé to be ignored.  Once the jobseeker is thoroughly aware of their target position, knows the audience, and has a nicely designed and well thought-out résumé, he or she is ready to use these tools to their advantage…assuming they are applying for an obtainable position – backed by necessary skills, qualifications, and/or education.
