There are no perfect resumes, however, there are plenty of horrible resumes.

Over the years, I’ve become a go-to resource for taking friends’ resumes and covering them with the battle scars of an anal-retentive judge of Oxford commas, mismatched styles, and bewildering capitalization.

This talk covers the obvious, and not so obvious, errors that I encounter in every resume, including my own, that make an instant difference between it being recycled and scheduling an on-site interview.

The talk is interactive with the participants working line-to-line through a sample resume of questionable quality to find the plethora of issues that may be lurking within their own resumes.
