Elements that you should NEVER include on your Resume.

Skill Dots

Using skill dots or bars to rate your proficiency in various skills is not something I would ever recommended. Why? Several reasons:

1. Those pretty little dots will block the applicant tracking systems (ATS).

2. Why rate yourself? You can set yourself up for disqualification. It is silly when you really think about it.

3. Whatever value you think you are getting from "visual appeal" is far outweighed by #1 and #2.
