The pressure to make a good first impression quickly is high, as 39% of hiring managers said they spend less than a minute looking at a résumé and 23% spend less than 30 seconds, according to a new survey by CareerBuilder.

Hiring managers identified the seven most common resume mistakes job seekers make that are instant deal breakers:

• Typos or bad grammar: 77%
• Unprofessional email address: 35%
• Résumé without quantifiable results: 34%
• Résumé with long paragraphs of text: 25%
• Résumé is generic, not customized to company: 18%
• Résumé is more than two pages: 17%
• No cover letter with résumé: 10%

Additionally, Seventy-five percent human resource managers, who are typically the ones who determine which applicants get in front of the actual hiring managers, have caught a lie on a résumé. The HR managers surveyed shared their most notable and cringe-worthy real-life examples of gaffes found on actual résumés:

• A 22-year-old applicant claimed three different degrees.
• An applicant listed 40 different jobs in one year.
• An applicant thought they attached a résumé to an email but instead sent their full credit application for an apartment.
• An applicant applied for a job for which they were vastly unqualified (e.g., grocery store shelf-stocker applying for a physician position).
• An applicant referred to having “as many marriages as jobs.”
• An applicant listed out their extensive arrest history.
• An applicant’s résumé had a different font type for every sentence.
• An applicant stated at the bottom of their résumé that they do not like babies or puppies.
• An applicant’s résumé was only one sentence.
• An applicant had the same employment dates for every job listed.

“The problem with lying on your résumé is that the odds of getting caught are high,” said Michael Erwin, senior career advisor for CareerBuilder. “It’s human nature to be tempted to exaggerate a little on your résumé and suggest that you have more skills or greater experience than you really do. However, the short term gains you might make in landing the job through deception can have long term consequences that may do serious damage to your career.”

The national survey was conducted online on behalf of CareerBuilder by The Harris Poll between June 21 and July 15, 2018. It included 1,023 hiring managers and human resource professionals and 309 HR managers in the private sector.
