1. Paragraphs

While a resume is your platform to show what you have done and can do, writing paragraphs is a no-go, Basically a good resume should be short and summarized , if you put stories ( means detail work), it will be bulky. Try to put as much as in bullet points.  

2. Full Address
Writing your full address on your resume is antiquated, full of privacy concerns in this day and age. you can write the current location but mentioning full address is not required in resume.    

3. Dates (other than work history)
While lower age is favored socially for most of the workforce, it doesn’t have to come at your expense.

4. Your lies!
Resumes are notoriously known for content that inadvertently “stretches the truth” by people eager to impress and subsequently earn a position. Put the information /work history which you have really worked and able to explain if resume is selected for an interview call. You can highlight the keywords according to job profile which will help in clearing the screening test. Many companies are having automated screening process where they parse the resume and search for key word which is required for a job.

They shape your first impression and determine the way recruiters and hiring managers view your candidacy. Your resume formatting can also determine how well your resume is parsed within an applicant tracking system (ATS) and how likely you are to be noticed as a result.
