Five Mistakes That Job Seekers Make (Video)

From Fox 5 Chicago's Job Talk Segment: Career Expert Jason Seiden offers a list of "Five Mistakes That Job Seekers Make."

In case you don't have the 2:56 to spare to watch the clip, here are the Cliffs Notes, as lifted directly from a slide in the piece:

• • Know your value
• • Don't tell me, show me
• • Your resume is about you
• • Don't ramble
• • Do your networking alone

And the best quote from the piece has to be the following nugget on the art of resume writing, something Seibel says he learned from a High School English teacher:

"When you write a paper, it should be like a woman's skirt—long enough to cover the subject, short enough to be interesting."
