If you've been unemployed for six months or more, you are not alone. The U.S. Department of Labor reported that approximately 45% of the nation's unemployed had been looking for work for 27 weeks or more, as of September 2011.

Is your resume holding you back?

In today's fiercely competitive job market, a well-crafted resume is essential for highlighting your strengths and job "fit" and can be the key to opening the door to those increasingly elusive interviews. If you've been actively searching for more than a month and have not received interview offers, there is a good chance that it's your resume, not your qualifications, holding you back. Further, technology and job search protocols have changed dramatically over the last 5 to 10 years. If it has been a while since your last job search, your resume might not be optimized for today's environment.

Jody Hughes, a resume writer and human resources consultant for Florida-based HResumes, has reviewed thousands of resumes over the past 10+ years and has identified several common mistakes that prevent resumes from making it to the hiring manager's in-box. Many of these mistakes have nothing to do with the applicant's education, experience or ability, but have everything to do with how that information is presented.
