Your resume can do much to help – or hurt – your chances of getting the job. It's important not to make mistakes that will eliminate you from contention for a job as early on as possible. Your resume must present you in a way that shows how hiring you will benefit whoever is doing the hiring, so make adjustments by cutting out anything that isn't relevant and highlighting your value. You might boost your relevance to hiring managers above your competitors, which could allow you to get the call for an interview.
