Things To Remove From Your Resume:
> Replace the "Objective" statement on your resume with "Professional Profile." Employers today are not that interested in what you want. Your opening paragraph needs to be a strong message that summarizes your background and indicates what you are best at.
> Eliminate superfluous, or "fluff" words: Keep your message on point and stick to the facts. If you want to express these traits, demonstrate it with what you have achieved or accomplished.
> Watch your grammar. Sentences in resumes are written like headlines and are in the first person. In other words, the statement "I am known for consistently exceeding my sales quotas" becomes "Known for consistently exceeding sales quotas."
