- Stick with the last ten years of work experience. I even think it's okay to include 15-20 years... but absolutely no more than that. (Bottom line: there's no need to go back to your high school paper route).
- Leave off the “objectives,” as they're only for recent graduates and those with no job experience (your resume and profile should be strong enough that anyone reading it knows immediately what job you're looking to interview for).
- All cliche, overused, eye-rolling bland corporate words and anachronisms need to go (and be replaced... and for the love of God, don't call yourself “seasoned” — only fries should be seasoned).
- While you may think your profile or resume is clever and cute, think of your reader first (use an easy to read font and format, especially when interviewing with conservative companies).
- Don't over-exaggerate or lie as you will almost always get caught ( it could be years later, but there will almost always be a nosy coworker or adversary who will happily seek out your embellishments and spill the beans).
