Writing the perfect resume is still the cornerstone of a successful job search in today's digital age.

Several job researches have indicated that candidates with a simple, crisp and clear resume have been hired more by companies over candidates with fancy and complex ones.

We’re all tempted to use words that we’re not too familiar with. We throw them around in meetings, e-mails and important documents (such as resumes and client proposals), and they land, like fingernails across a chalkboard, on everyone who has to hear or read them.
