1. Do not follow job posting requests. If a posting requires a resume AND a cover letter, just send a resume. If the posting requires a salary history along with the résumé, just wait for the next opportunity to clarify your expectations. 
2. Do not use keywords in the top half of your résumé. Since scanning for keywords is essential for most employers, it will prove that you care less about the job position and the requirements.
3. Don’t ask questions about the job, just ask about salary and benefits. Since phone interviews are part of the screening process, the first impression is critical. Blow it big by focusing on the “perks” and the hours you can’t work.
4. Lack enthusiasm about the opportunity.
5. Don’t exude professionalism. Don’t answer a direct question, and don’t give a direct answer.
6. Your résumé will be ignored by including every non-relevant position you ever had. Just think of the time that could be wasted by looking at all the detail you included.
7. Fax your résumé and cover letter so that half the text is blurred. This way no one can read it.
8. Finally, miss your phone interview time. There are only 100 people who applied for the position. It makes it so much easier for the employer just to rule you out.
