Template & structure
Resume formatThe layout is hard to scan and may break in an ATS. Essential sectionsA core section is missing, so the resume feels incomplete. PDF formatA Word file can reflow or look broken on another machine. Consistent formattingFonts, bullet styles, and spacing change across the page. File sizeA heavy file is slow to send and slow to open. Font and coloursLoud fonts or colours pull focus from the content. Contact details
Contact detailsKey contact details are missing or hard to find. Headline titleThere is no target title under the name, so the aim is unclear. Professional emailThe email looks casual and undercuts a professional impression. LinkedIn linkThere is no LinkedIn or portfolio link to follow. GitHub linkA GitHub link with no real activity adds nothing. File nameA name like resume-final-v3.pdf looks careless. Summary
Summary lengthThe summary is too long or missing, so the headline gets lost. Clichés and buzzwordsPhrases like hardworking and team player say nothing. Work experience
Relevant experienceUnrelated roles dilute the story and bury what matters. AchievementsBullets describe duties, not results, so impact is invisible. Clear rolesA role is vague about the company or the title you held. Work historyThe history runs too long or too thin for the target level. PronounsBullets use I, my, or other pronouns, which reads informal. DatesA role is missing a clear start or end month and year. Gaps and overlapsThere are unexplained gaps or overlapping dates between roles. Skills
Relevant skillsThe skills are off target or a scattered mix that lacks focus. Education
EducationEducation is missing, or padded with rankings and coursework. Extra sections
Expected sectionsAn unexpected or vanity section clutters the resume. Personal detailsAge, marital status, or a photo invite bias and waste space. Length
Resume lengthThe page count does not fit the years of experience. ReadabilityLong paragraphs and little white space make it hard to skim. Tailoring & ATS
Tailoring & ATSThe resume is generic and misses the posting keywords. Action verbs
Action verbsBullets start weakly or repeat the same verb. Final review
Spelling & grammarSpelling or grammar mistakes slip through and cost credibility. No referencesA references section or an available on request line wastes space.
