My worst resume mistake was printing it on a tortilla.

It might not have been that bad. Was it flour or corn?

I always heard that resumes should only be one page long so I was amazed when I had to read resumes and none of them were just a page long. I was also annoyed. I wanted to trash everything that was more than one page but that would have been all of them.

It's also amazing to see all the typos and spelling mistakes. If you're applying for an accounting position being careful and accurate is sort of, uh, important.

Then HR started e-mailing resumes to us so you had to open the e-mail and print it out before you could see that the applicant was in India so you probably wouldn't be calling them in for an interview.

I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that any more.

And I hope I never have to update my own resume.

I'm more accustomed to the multi-page everything-you've-ever-done-in-your-life resumes because that's what they do where I work. Switching over to the one-pager for legal jobs sucks.

The biggest problem with constructing my legal resume is that firms expect that students don't have that much experience, so they expect a one-page resume; if you're a student and you turn in more than that, as you legitimately might if you were an experienced partner or associate, it's assumed that you simply don't know what you're doing and your resume goes right into the round file without a second glance. But part of my marketing of me is that I *do* have prior work experience and skills that will translate to my new career, so I'm a better deal than the 25-year old grads whose mommies and daddies paid for their education and who have never put in an 8-hour day, much less a 12 or 16-hour day. (This sort really do exist in my school, and in alarming numbers.) And getting that info into a one-page format just.plain.sucks.

We got an unsolicited resume once at former employer. It had tabs for various different resumes "I went to the same school as you", "the suck up resume", "The I know somoene you know resume".

We didn't have any jobs for the guy but it did at least get our attention.
