You should tailor your resume to highlight the qualifications, work experience and any education that you've had that best represents the type of work you are applying for. You should also include any other work experience that you've had, as well as any accomplishments that you have made in your field.
Of course there also quite a few things that recruiters hate to see on resumes as well. Many people do not think that recruiters really go all the way through a resume, but they really do. Recruiters have certain pet peeves when it comes to reading a resume. I've included a list of some of the pet peeves that you should avoid when putting your resume together. These are the things that recruiters hate to see.
* Summaries that are hard to follow and understand are annoying to recruiters. Keep your summary easy and brief.
* Adding unnecessary information on a resume like your hobbies is completely useless. You should save that section to describe any accomplishments that you have made in your field.
* Dating the information in your work history in the wrong order makes your resume harder to follow. (Work history should be listed with most current jobs at the top)
* Pictures and/or graphics on a resume is distracting to a recruiter. Things like that will likely get your resume tossed out without a glance.
* The golden rule of resumes is never to lie. Often if an employer is unsure, they could check the facts themselves. If you get found out, you'll prove that you are untrustworthy.
