Resume mistakes - IT

Good morning everyone.

I am currently working on my resume to start my search for employment next year in March. All assistance with the questions below are greatly appreciated.

  1. What are some common entries on resumes that you see that you view as complete bogus or know that the candidate is clearly reaching, particularly in the "Technical Skills" portion?

  2. Do you advertise Certs you are working towards and expecting to certify by a certain date? Ex. CCNP - Expected completion date 02/2020

  3. Color; a friend of mine sent me his resume and had blue and red coloring for certain sentences or to highlight skills. Do you advise against?

  4. Programming Skills; when someone is certified in a programming language I've heard real programmers cringe and say it either doesnt impact or negatively impacts. What has been your experience?

  5. Is 2 pages the max? How do you feel about a 3 page resume?

  6. Anything at all you may see on a resume that turns you off and you hope ITs stop putting it in their resume?

  7. Any rule of thumbs?

Thank you all for your time.
