2. Emphasize Results – Simply put, your resume is more than just a summary of what you’ve done in the past. A recruiter wants to know not only what you did, but whether or not you generated results from your work. Therefore, stay away from bullet points that read like job descriptions and input results wherever possible. If the person replacing you in a previous job of yours can copy and paste your resume bullet points to their resume, that’s probably a sign your bullet points read like a job description.

3. Avoid Redundancy – Think of each line on your resume as a valuable piece of real estate. With that in mind, consider the incremental value that each line on your resume provides for you as a candidate. If you have performed the same task in multiple roles, is it necessary to list that same task more than once on your resume? Likely not.
