One good way to lose out on your next job is to be a little fuzzy about what happened on the last one.

Robert Half of Menlo Park, Calif., founder of Accountemps, says a poorly written, ungrammatical resume is employment suicide. But so are the reasons given for leaving the last job.

Some examples:

– “The boss said the end of the world is near.”

– “Was met with a string of broken promises and lies, as well as cockroaches.”

– “Fired because I fought for lower pay.”

– “I was working for my Mom until she decided to move.”
