6) Not all technical experience is equivalent. There were some people I had to pass on because their experience wasn't quite at the depth or in the area of expertise I was looking for.
7) Tell me how long you've been in the position. I saw some people basically try to stretch the truth into claiming they had a lot more experience than they had by combining two different titles into one larger chunk of time. I was not impressed.
8) I am a former high school English teacher. My superpower is catching typos on sight. If your resume is a BS word salad or horribly misspelled, I am not going to be impressed by your resume, no matter how pretty it is.
