And there are a fewmistakesthat shes seen over and over again that are pretty irritating.Since hiring managers often base their first impression of you on your rsum, its imperative that you revi ew it closely before hitting submit on your job application. Especially when an opening yields a high volume of eligible, talented candidates, employers may be quick to toss your file in the no pile for even the smallest mistake.So, as you give your rsum a final look, make sure it doesnt include any of the following faux pas, which employers may find to be annoying.
