Most people with a certain degree of intelligence although not all will be aware of them. The main mitsake that most people make is to write about their responsibilities and not their achievements. Hiring managers want to read ''achieve 10 million turnover...'', not ''Responsible for the greater Connetticut area...'' Those are all good points but cover essentially the basics.

All I need to know is if I you must have a certification to write resumes for people? Like many trades, you must have certification before doing. Is resume writing the same? Also, if/when I do go into this business how much do I charge. I know it is hourly--but how much? Thanks to all who reply!! I have received extensive training in writing resumes so I know how.

I can't tell you how many times I've had to tell a client to create a new email address (e.g. "JohnSmith@gmail.com) and not send their personal one out (e.g. "SexyChickie", "BigLar" and yes, even "DumbJon56"). Thanks for the comment! :) Erin Hi Jennifer,

I would include listing an unprofessional email address as a mistake. Unfortunately we see tons of those, and the chances of bikerchick71 getting an interview are slim. It just doesn't make a good impression and speaks to the applicant's lack of attention to detail. Setting up a new yahoo! or gmail account just for your job search is free and takes just a few minutes. Great info! I would include listing an unprofessional email address as a mistake.
