3 Reasons Recruiters Skip Your Resume in the First 10 Seconds
1️⃣ It looks cluttered or outdated
Long paragraphs, old formats, tiny fonts—recruiters won’t struggle to read when 100 others are waiting.
2️⃣ No clear value upfront
If your top section doesn’t instantly show who you are and what you bring, they move on.
3️⃣ It’s not tailored to the role
Generic resumes scream “mass apply” and get filtered out—by humans and ATS.
💡 The painful truth: It’s rarely your experience—it’s how it’s presented.
