To which usually pay no attention

1. Education. Experience is paramount.
2. Thingies in the design summary. I love beautiful and creatively decorated resume, but most recruiters banish your resume through special programs and leave them only the text. Therefore it is best to send a summary of the standard form in PDF and not to tempt fate. Perhaps recruiters do not like your sense of beauty.
3. Personal information. Marital status, presence of children, illness, photos - all to me almost indifferent.

What you need to stop doing

1. Use MS Word templates for resumes.
2. Resume writing in the first person. If only you did not do it very creative.
3. Stretch resume on a huge number of pages. One or two pages maximum.
4. Deceive.
