Your resume is your ticket to an interview—don’t let formatting errors ruin your chances. Here’s a quick guide to dodge common pitfalls:
1. Font Chaos
? Mixing fonts/sizes.
? Use one font (Arial, Calibri) with body text (10.5–12 pt) and headings (14–16 pt).
2. Bullet Overload
? Walls of text or 10+ bullets.
? 3–6 bullets/section, starting with action verbs (Led, Improved).
3. Misaligned Dates
? Dates floating randomly.
? Right-align dates; use tabs, not spaces.
4. No Breathing Room
? Cramped or empty layouts.
? 1-inch margins, space between sections.
5. Confusing Sections
? Hobbies in “Skills” or missing key headers.
? Organize: Experience, Skills, Education.
6. Inconsistent Headers
? “Work History” vs. “Professional Experience.”
? Standardize: Work Experience, Education.
7. ATS Fails
? Graphics, tables, fancy fonts.
? Simple design, keywords from the job ad.
8. Old Templates
? Distracting 2000s-era designs.
? Use minimalist, modern templates.
