1. Allowing inconsistencies
Even something as seemingly insignificant as your start dates not lining up correctly can raise a red flag for employers.
Review your resume to make sure that all the details match your other public profiles. For example, if you have certain dates for a job position on LinkedIn, make sure you have the same dates listed on your resume. The same goes with job titles, stick to your actual title and keep it consistent across all of your professional platforms. It’s a small oversight that might signal to employers you aren’t being entirely truthful on your resume or professional profiles.
