I'd also ban anything banal from the 'personal interests' section. Who doesn't like 'socialising with friends'? Unless it's really different (wingwalking was a recent one, what a great conversation starter that was!) or charitable etc, it's more likely to count against you than for you.
I get fed up too of phones that seem to be constantly off or go straight to answer phone. You are looking for a job, make my life easy -please-!!
I can add a few:
cover letters addressed to a different employer
inappropriate voicemails
voicemails not set up
a cover letter that says they would be perfect for any job
someone applying on your behalf (ie wife, mother)
Forget to dot an i or cross a t and your DONE! This is all BS. Bring Unions back!
