grecs@spacerog Here are his DON’Ts…
- Don’t list all the individual classes you took (see DO’s below)
- Don’t go over 2 pages (1 if possible).
- Don’t list references (takes up too much space and he knows he can always ask you for reference later if needed). #shmoocon
@spacerog
- Don’t listen to your professors (When was the last time they’ve written a resume or reviewed ones to hire someone?) [Those professors are ok I guess. 😉]
- Don’t follow your school’s suggested resume format. [Yeah, it’s a good place to start but MAKE IT YOUR’S — not you school’s. :)] #shmoocon

- Don’t be a graphic designer … nothing fancy (ex., no animated GIFs, fancy colored fonts, etc. as well as no photos - you’re not applying to be a model).
- And just some general ones about not listing fraternities/sororities or including a cover letter (don’t not enough time for a reviewer to read them all). #shmoocon
