    Don't do these things

    Have any spelling mistakes - always spell check your r?sum?, your contact's name, and the company's name

    Misrepresent your background or experience - employers oftentimes verify this information and can fire you if it is discovered that you were dishonest

    Fill in employment gaps with unrelated information - wait to discuss this information in person to put a positive spin on it

    Use long sentences - just like paragraphs, the reader easily skips over long sentences

    Use personal pronouns - keep your r?sum? impersonal for a more professional image
