Here’s what looks bad on a resume:
- Spelling or grammatical mistakes
- Unprofessional resume fonts, or fonts that are too small to read
- Overly wide or narrow margins
- Your headshot
- Buzzwords (such as “self-starter” or “results-driven”)
- Irrelevant experience or skills
- Proof you’re a job hopper (too many jobs in a short timeframe)
- Long or unexplained gaps in your work history
