ObjectiveThe Objective statement is an irrelevant dinosaur. Replace it with a Professional Profile insteadsomething that summarizes the best parts of your background and shows you off best. Set the tone/theme and use the rest of the resume as proof. The only e xception here is if youre changing fields or industries completely, but that is a rare situation requiring some finessing of its own.2. Bad GrammarIt may seem like a small thing, but even the smallest error can turn off a keen-eyed recruiter. Keep faithful to first person headlines and double check that all your verbs agree.3. Mailing AddressYou dont have room for this. No one is going to need it. And its probably a security risk.4. Multiple Telephone NumbersPick the best number at which you can consistently be reached, and leave out the rest. If they want multiple methods of contact, they can always email.5. Too Many BulletsDont bullet everything or youll run the risk of over-bulleting. Use this useful tool only to draw out the most important information in a clear manner.6. Irrelevant EducationExcept in specific circumstances, no one needs to know where you went to high school, what college you transferred out of, or your GPA. Include only what makes sense for the jobs you are app lying for and leave out the rest.7. ReferencesObviously, youll provide references on request. Dont waste valuable space saying so on your resume. If an employer wants them dont worry, they will ask.8. More than One PageUnless you need to for your particular field, dont bloat your resume with piles and piles of text. Try to keep it to a clean single page with surgical detail and no extra padding.9.

Keep your underlining, indentations, italics, etc. completely uniform.10. LiesNo bending the truth necessary.

Kindness Matters in Your Career

Kindness Matters in Your Career We all have bad dayswhere even little things like someone cutting you off on the way to work can make it difficult to get through the day. You know what increases the severity and frequency of these days? Having the mindset that each moment is a competition and each partie around us is a competitor for the top spot. Why do we assume that in order for us to do well at our jobs,other people must lose? Its a sad and sadly common state of affairs to think of life as a zero-sum game.When youre having a bad day, the thing you need most is a helping hand. If you havent given a hand to anyone else in the past which youre not conditioned to do when you view others as competition youre unlikely to get the help you need.Alternatively, if youve spent time helping others over the years, those around you are likely to do all they can for you.I heard a similar idea last year at thePodcast Movement conference. A speaker talked about how we, as podcasters, look at one another as competition. We each want to beNo. 1on iTunes. We dont want to help each other for fear that well lose listeners.Then, the speaker asked What would happen if we assumed there welches room for everyone? What would happen if we assumed that we could all succeed in some way?If we changed our assumptions, itslikely that we would help each other more. We would talk to each other more. Wed share ideas and suggestions.We would all be more successful together.Theres a strong temptation to be the best. We are taught to think this way as early as elementary school, where teachers rank us according to reading level or other distinctions. In continues into high school, where we fight to become the valedictorian or the best athlete. In college, there are scholarships and internships and letters of recommendation to be won. Theres always a ranking, and nobody wants to lose.But things dont rea lly work this way. Life isnt about your solo struggle against the rest of the world. In life and business,we dont actually get ahead on our strength alone. We get ahead because of the people on our teams. We get ahead when we share our talents with others and lila drink on those whose strengths complement our own.Even if you could get ahead on your own, what would the prize be at the end of the journey?With whomcould you share your winnings? All aloneis a pretty lonely place to be.Remember Theres room for everyone at the top, and the best way to get there is together.A version of this article originally appeared onCopeland Coaching.Angela Copeland is a career coach and CEO at her firm,Copeland Coaching.
