The Biggest Resume Mistakes, According to Google's Head of HR

Senior VP of People Operations at Google, Laszlo Bock, has reviewed over 20,000 resumes in his career.

These are the mistakes he sees over and over.

The five mistakes he lists are mostly obvious, from typos to bad formatting and lies.

A good rule of thumb is one page of resume for every ten years of work experience.

Once you’re in the room, the resume doesn’t matter much.

So cut back your resume.

It’s too long.
