Grudge Factors? Don't include the reasons you've left or are leaving your job. Do not mention "sexual harassment," "lawsuit," "workers compensation claim," or "fired me for no good reason." Some situations are better explained in person, if at all.
	Personal Information! No one cares if you are single, married, play the trombone, or enjoy league bowling. Personal information does not belong on a resume. Do not include your age, race, gender, or blue ribbons for gardening. There are some exceptions to this mistake, but only hen the position you are applying for is greatly dependent upon or enhanced by experience that is draw from personal matters rather than professional experience!
	Sloppiness. Do not be in such a hurry to find a new job that you think printing a resume on green or orange paper will get you noticed fast. As quickly as your resume is noticed it will be filed in the circular file bin behind an employers desk! Presentation counts: a coffee ring stain on the handwritten envelope, which also happens to have the return address of your current employer in the corner is a major NO! You laugh, but I is done all the time.
	Darts at a Wall! Just because you are fed up today and want to find a new job A.S.A.P. don't send a resume to every ad that appears in the Sunday newspaper! Take the time to target the jobs for which you really have a chance of being interviewed. Does your level of experience match the requirements listed? Are you even interested in said position?
