Anyone can list skills in a skills section. To really prove that you have them, you need to show how you’ve used your skills in the past—and that you’ve gotten results. Your skills section should actually be rather redundant. Ideally, a close read of your experience section should get across all your hard and soft skills. Via James Schreier

From spelling and grammatical errors to flowery language and absent keywords, there’s certainly no shortage of resume mistakes you could make. But there is one surefire kiss of death for most job seekers: submitting a two- or, dare we say it, three-page resume.
“If you’re fresh out of college, you may have a few internships under your belt, but by no means should you have a two-page resume,” says Christopher Ward, founder at Ward Resumes. Via The Learning Factor

That section on your interests can go. Oh, and no shrinking the margins–that’s cheating.

A lot of job-seekers understate their own accomplishments. They don't realize that they can claim all ten of these careers "wins" in their resume. You can do it, too!

You want a team full of motivated employees and a rocking company culture. You're doing everything you can, but somehow it's just not working. Turnover is still high. Employees look good on paper, but seem to get demotivated no matter what you do. What could be going wrong?
Your human resources team could be the culprit. It's time to take a hard look at your company's interviewing practices.
Sometimes HR wants to "sell" a really great candidate on the position. So they start telling them all of the great things about being a part of the company or fulfilling the role they're trying to fill. There's nothing wrong with that on the surface. The problem arises when HR starts making promises on your behalf. Promises you can't keep, or won't keep, for whatever reason. Via The Learning Factor

LinkedIn can make or break your chances of getting an interview — you probably already know this. But just like with your resume, what you leave off your profile is just as important as what you keep on it. When it comes to the latter, we've given you plenty of tips regarding what should be there — from brilliant summaries to killer headlines that attract recruiters. But today we're talking about the former — all the items you need to leave off. Or, in most cases, remove before you make one more more hiring manager cringe and X out. I know, that sounds bleak. However, there is a silver lining, and it's that removing these items won't take you more than five minutes. Via The Learning Factor

Very important to get to the paragraph highlighted here -- otherwise you might believe it's OK to just list skills.
