The 5 Resume Mistakes & Fixes

I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to send out countless resumes and hear nothing back. The truth is, small mistakes can cost you big opportunities. That’s why I want to help you avoid five common resume pitfalls that might be holding you back.

First, using a generic resume can make you blend in rather than stand out—tailoring it to each job description is key. 

Second, poor formatting can make your resume difficult to read, so a clean, structured layout is a must.

Third, simply listing job duties instead of highlighting your achievements won’t impress hiring managers—using the STAR method can showcase your real impact.

Fourth, ignoring applicant tracking systems could mean your resume never even reaches human eyes, so incorporating the right keywords is crucial. 

Lastly, typos and grammar mistakes can make you seem careless, so always proofread before sending.

 These small tweaks can make a big difference in landing interviews. If you need expert guidance, book a consultation with me today—I’ll help you refine your resume and boost your chances of success!
