things I wish I hadnt seen on your resume or in your cover letter

things I wish I hadnt seen on your resume or in your cover letter things I wish I hadnt seen on your resume or in your cover letter Its true that your resume should market your accomplishments, but declaring that you are a visionary leader as I read on two candidates resumes recently is going a bit far. (Besides, if youre really a visionary leader, Ill see it in your accomplishments, right?) And I have a very charismatic personality is a weird thing to say about yourself. Its the sort of thing that others get to determine about you. On the other end of the spectrum, I was nonplussed to see this in a cover letter:  I  am a strong employee who possesses adequate leadership skills.  Adequate isnt generally what employers are hoping to hire. And then there was the candidate with this objective:  to obtain a professional position in Corporate America Hmmm.
