2. I hired people last cycle

And I've seen it all when it comes to resumes. The worst one I got was from a guy who used the word 'stuff' liberally. When he was describing his volunteer campaign experience (I work on campaigns) he said "phone banking and other fun stuff."

He also worked at JC Penney and his description for what he did was 'helping customers find stuff' and that resume quickly became infamous in our office. I did not call him for the interview, even though he applied no fewer than 5 times.

ETA keep it to one page if possible. And if things are not relevant to the position, you can leave them off.
