The 8 Most Common Resume Mistakes

These Resume Blunders Should be Avoided No Matter Where You're Applying

8. The 1-Page Resume

When a job seeker tries to limit the content of the resume to fit into one page, he/she is cutting vital information to adhere to a "rule" that is not valid for most resumes. Many resumes (including mid-level) are two pages in length and three pages are acceptable for some senior level candidates.
