The Top 10 Resume Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)

And how students can fix them before they get overlooked.

Most student resumes look fine at first glance, but “fine” is not enough when recruiters are scanning quickly and looking for reasons to move on.

A strong resume has to do more than list what a student has done. It has to tell a clear story, highlight relevant experience and make it easy for a recruiter to say yes.

The Problem

When students aren't getting interviews, it's because their resume is working against them.

They may bury the strongest details, include too much history, use weak bullet points or rely on formatting that makes the resume harder to read.

Small mistakes can make a strong student look less prepared than they really are.
