Interesting and completely avoidable are the many reasons why employers reject a candidate based on their resume – typos and grammatical errors, clip art, cringe worthy quotes and snazzy borders to name a few. Stay away from the clip art people!
They have put together some good tips on proof reading, visuals and content.
We get sent a lot of content that people want us to share with you. I think this one is well worth a read.

Interesting info-graphic. I guess recruiters prefer short and precise resume, they don’t want to read stories of 3 to 4 pages. LiveCareer’s Resume Builder can help to write an eye-catching and professional resume. Thanks for the post! Keep sharing.
This is a really impressive post on the way resume should be written. I really like the info-graphics. You clearly explained the cliches recruiters really hate. Great post! Thanks for sharing!
