Being Too Vague

A resume that just lists tasks and responsibilities is a real turn-off. You need to provide specific details about your achievements. Hiring mangers love to see numbers:

• “I supervised a team of five full-time and two part-time employees while overseeing a yearly budget of $275,000” is more impressive than “I managed the marketing department.”
• “I increased the company’s Facebook likes by 75% in six months” is sure to attract more attention than “I worked to increase customer engagement via social media.”
