There are three major mistakes that I see frequently. Number one: typos, grammatical errors, punctuation, spelling - those are an absolute no-nos. Resumes that are generic. One-size-fits-all resumes are also typically tossed in the trash can because they aren't specific enough to a particular career, industry, or job. Third, resumes that are too wordy. Definitely you want to make sure that everything that you put on your resume is concise and to the point.
