Top 10 Unusual Resume Mistakes

Are you making these mistakes on your resume? 10) Using a cutesy email account to send the CV. Any email arriving from snookums12 or bigboy69 that gets through the spam filter will get caught by the human filter before being dumped in the trash filter. Email from billgates1 is probably not going to help at Microsoft either. 9) Mentioning low grades (Hebrew) or test scores. If you had problems in a course, why mention it at all? You're too honest. Emphasize the positive and achievements you can be proud of. 8) Forgetting ineffective information on your CV only to have it surprise you in the subsequent interviews, such as alternative musical tastes (which I have), esoteric hobbies (I would get asked about mixology too much) or even a past job experience unrelated for the position at hand. Every detail you leave on your CV should have a purpose or not be there.

The Secret To Finding Dream Jobs

The Dream Job. The one that you never want to end. The one that you would love. The one that you've never had and may never have. Until now. In Theory Find out what you like doing best, and get someone to pay you for doing it Flashback. When I was a teenager growing up in Montreal, I loved baseball. A friend and I would try to see as many games as possible each summer, and every time we went to the stadium to watch our favorite team (the now-defunct Expos), we would rave about what work must be like as a batboy, the next best thing to actually being a player. Being a batboy was our dream job at that time, a job we would have done for free paid to do. The fact is that we saw only one facet of that job - the batboy helping the players during the game - and that if we'd known his entire job description including all the time he spends cleaning, polishing and shining, we would have set our hearts elsewhere.
