Recruiter who has interviewed 'thousands' shares the 2 biggest resume red flags: misspelling your own name.

Career Group Companies' executive vice president, Emily Levine, has worked with numerous job candidates, including high net worth individuals such as A-list celebrities, for whom she sources personal assistants, chiefs of staff, nannies, and other staff members.

"Throughout my 15-year career, I have interviewed thousands and thousands of people, and each interview process begins with a resume that must convince me to proceed with that candidate," she states.

If the resume is not presentable, it can hinder her from moving forward. Two of her biggest red flags are:

'I've seen somebody spell their own name wrong'

First, typos and misspelled words definitely raise eyebrows.

Levine states that observing someone misspell their own name or the name of their university or company they worked for indicates a lack of attention to detail, which negatively reflects on the candidate.

One spelling error on a resume is acceptable, but multiple errors "give off a negative impression," according to Levine, who emphasizes that it can deter companies from interviewing a candidate.

Levine, as a recruiter, will occasionally assist candidates and inform them of any typos. However, she advises all job-seekers to verify all information for accuracy before submitting it.

'Don't try to fudge the dates'

Second, a resume needs to be accurate.

Levine advises against trying to shorten a gap between jobs by manipulating dates.

Some individuals feel ashamed to admit they don't possess a degree, so they fabricate and claim to have one.

If a background check is conducted, it will reveal the truth and make it difficult for the prospective employer to trust you in the future.

She claims to have witnessed numerous job offers being withdrawn from candidates who lied.
