It has been revealed that job seekers desperate for a new role this year, are turning to their mobile phones in record numbers to avoid the prying eyes of their boss and save time.

According to Mattson, one shouldn't create a resume that reads like a job description rather than showing or explaining previous work, and should think of mentioning the skills they have acquired over time.

Making grammatical, spelling and punctuation mistakes can prove to be a great blunder if not checked properly.

It is very important to add a summary statement in the resume that reflects the kind of work one wants to do.
