Five Top Resume Writing Mistakes
Los Angeles, CA - July 26, 2025 - After reviewing thousands of resumes throughout her career, professional resume writer Mandy Fard, of Market-Connections Resume Writing Services, says there are five common mistakes she sees Los Angeles job searchers make that may prevent them from getting the interview that will lead them to their dream job.These include:
• Typos. "Mistakes of any kind are an absolute no-no," says Fard. "It's the quickest way to take yourself out of consideration for a job". Fard advises clients to proofread their resumes several times and use spell-checking apps, too.
• Lack of Focus. "If you can't figure out what kind of job you want, how do you expect a prospective employer to know where to put you?" Fard says. "Your 'Summary of Qualifications' section of the resume should outline what you have to offer an employer."
• Not Standing Out from the Crowd. "Too many of the resumes I reviewed included generic content, which simply listed job responsibilities," Fard says. "You need to remember that employers want to hire employees who can produce results."
• Poorly-Formatted Resumes. "Good design can help set a resume apart," says Fard. "However, make sure the design is compatible with applicant tracking systems."
• Giving Too Little - or Too Much - Information. "Some people still believe the one-page resume myth," said Fard. "Consequently, they don't give the hiring manager enough information to decide whether to bring them in for an interview. On the other hand, a two-page resume is more than adequate for 95 percent of the population."
