Perusing the archives of Craigslist, I came across this hilarious post on ways NOT to write your resume. Although my intention with the College Career post series is to offer advice for College Students on how to better their career search, I thought a little humor was warranted.
My favorite tip:
If you’re claiming a skill, actually have it.
For instance, when your skill set includes “filing/editing” but is followed by “Photo Shop” improperly spaced, that means you’re not very good at the first one, and you probably don’t use the second often enough to know how to spell it. Therefore, you’re probably an exaggerator, meaning I can’t trust anything else on your resume. Bye-bye.

Rather have a professional help write your resume with you? ResumeEdge.com offers moderately priced services for students just entering the workforce that need an extra ‘edge’ on their resume. The price, although seemingly high, is well worth it if you land your dream job.
