Why you're not getting jobs? Read this
Your resume got rejected in 6 seconds.
Not by a human. By a robot.
And you didn't even know it.

โ€ข Designed to impress humans

โ€ข Designed to pass robot screening first
โ€ข Simple, clean formatting

โ€ข Clear section headings
โ€ข Keyword optimized for job descriptions
โ†’ Benefit: Gets you in front of actual humans
Think of it this way:
Your normal resume is like speaking French to someone who only understands English.
No matter how elegant your words are, the message won't get through.

โ†ณ Skip the header/footer sections
โ†ณ Use standard bullet points
โ†ณ Save as .docx format (not PDF unless specified)
โ†ณ Match keywords from the job posting
โ†ณ Avoid columns and text boxes
The goal?
Get past the robot. Impress the human.
Both matter. In that order.
