A recent poll of technical recruiters and hiring managers asked for their top "pet peeves" - things they see on resumes and cover letters that make them less interested in speaking with a candidate. These resume writing tips make great examples of how not to write your resume.

Resume Samples:

• Sample Resume - New Grad

We all need occasional resume tips - it's always handy to keep your resume up to date! One of the most common questions I get from job seekers is - how do I write a resume? What do I put on there, and what should I leave off? This can be especially difficult for techies, where the temptation is to list every single project you have ever worked on. Remember, the goal of your resume is to get an interview, so there should be just enough information on there to make a recruiter or hiring manager want to pick up the phone and learn more about you.
