Mistakes that get Data Entry Operator resumes ignored

• Writing a typing speed you have never tested. Employers and government exams check it, so a false number hurts you.
• Listing only "MS Office" and "computer knowledge". Name the software and what you do in it.
• Typing errors in the resume itself. For this job, a spelling mistake in your own resume is a warning sign.
• Claiming "Excel expert" when you cannot use formulas or pivot tables. Interviewers often give a small Excel test.
• No mention of accuracy or how you check your work.
• Not tailoring the objective: a government post and a BPO role ask for different things.
• A long resume. One page is enough for a fresher.
