Resumes and Cover Letters
Every Detail is Important
How important are the little details on your resume? It might be more important than you think. Everything from capitalization to an extra comma gets noticed and creates an impression. Employers and recruiters report these as the most common mistakes on a resume:
- Typos or grammatical errors
- Including too little or too much information
- Lack of data
- Not listing achievements in former roles
- Poor layout or design
Want to avoid these mistakes? Schedule an appointment with the WSU Global Campus career advisor.
