What Not to Put on Your Resume
Part 1
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

"Should I admit a weakness?" one of my coaching clients asked me. "Something tells me I shouldn't."

"Something" was telling her right. Your best tool in writing a good resume, is your intuition, or common sense aka Emotional Intelligence.

Weaknesses

Don't talk about your "weaknesses" unless you're asked. In my years as a Career Counselor for college students, I received fledgling resumes that read "I don't like people" or "I hate talking on the phone." On the one hand, such statements of extremes are rarely true, and on the other hand they are open to gross misinterpretation.

How do I know this? First-hand, of course, the way hard lessons are learned.

When I took my first job, I announced "I'm horrible at math." To MY horror, all work demanding "math" was removed from my desk, grossly limiting my chances for advancement, and also leaving me to puzzle how to address this situation without appearing to "Methinks the lady doth protest too much". [Shakespeare] "Wait, wait, I didn't mean I was BAD at math." And there goes my credibility. Save yourself some grief.

Later I made it through graduate statistics just fine. I had MEANT "in relation to my other skills, my math is lower, and also that I don't wake up in the morning hoping to balance someone's books." However, I've done it.

A resume is in writing and you don't get to "explain," so be conservative.

Focus on what you're good at. Extremes are rarely true. I'm thinking of the young woman who wrote on her resume, "I don't like people." Upon query, it turned out she liked ME, and I like to consider myself a person, doncha know. She didn't like a CERTAIN KIND OF PERSON, which could be said of us all, and her gross generalization didn't hold up under scrutiny. However, scrutiny is not what you'll get from the recruiter who looks at your resume. What you'll get is the roundfile.

So, unless you're in a specialty so in demand you can apply with a bone in your nose (as one young male client told me back in the days when his field was, yes, desperately in demand), avoid leading with the "bone in your nose."
