With 73 million living in the US, millennials are already the largest segment in the workplace. Plus, they may be 75 percent of the workforce by 2030, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

This generation is starkly different from the generations that came before them, but don’t deny the ambition of the millennial job hunter. According to a Gallup report on the millennial generation, 21 percent of millennials changed jobs within the past year–a stunning figure that is more than three times the number of non-millennials who have changed jobs in the last year. Not only that, but only 50 percent of millennials plan to be working at their company a year from now.

Long story short, a lot of millennials are looking for new jobs.

Yet, despite this ambition, landing that dream job may be thwarted by a simple thing that is completely avoidable:

A bad résumé.

In these days when many job seekers are focused on social media to the exclusion of most everything else, millennials have to pay particularly close attention to the résumés they are submitting to recruiters. Here are 3 of the worst mistakes millennials consistently make on their résumés.

1. Having outdated and unprofessional information.
Millennials have been online for much of their lives and were introduced to a version of the Internet that is much different from the online experience we know now. However, using an email address from an old, outdated email service (Hotmail, AOL, etc.) will make you look unprofessional and not savvy with tech. In addition to updating your email address, make sure all the information in your résumé is current and up to date, and that your social media accounts (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.) reflect the kind of person a recruiter would want to hire.
