What are some common mistakes people make with their resumes?
Some people for what ever reason can't afford a perfectly formatted resume with NO errors. They just need a job to pay their expenses and keep a roof over their head. Their are charitable agencies that prepare resumes format, spellcheck and print copies for applicants free of cost. You should find out those companies for applicant before you pass judgement.
No attention to detail and not fit for the position. Accounting has to be precise to the penny. I was employed for a title,escrow and finance companies for years. The statements have to balance. We’re audited there no room for errors. Definitely not accountants material. It’s like the bank saying well he needs to put food on the table they messed up sorry. Others are a perfect fit,great accountants and others have another calling. As a manager HR department I want the perfect fit and my bank account or investors shareholders money to be accurate to the penny. I would say the aforementioned resume has another calling.

What’s the most unexpected way you’ve ever landed a job?
face to face with a lot of job seekers around
Once years ago I went to a print shop to get copies of my resume done, this was back before the Internet, when you had to submit a resume physically. Anyways, the print shop left a copy of my resume in the copy machine after my order was done. The owner of the shop came in about 30 minutes later and found my resume in it, and called me and offered me a delivery job there.
