Why Your Resume Isn’t Getting Read

by Leave a Comment

I am fully expecting that after our 4-week resume summer series your resume is a whole situation (ha!).

Now, this isn’t usually my style, but I’ve got some bad news for you.

Even the best resumes don’t get read…*clutches pearls.* Here’s why + how you can fix these common mistakes in about 5 minutes.

Girl, you know I love to make success simple!

Top 3 Reasons Your Resume Isn’t Getting Read + Quick Fixes

Reason 1: The font is making your copy dense and unappealing to the eye. Forget a new layout, you’d be surprised what a lighter font will do.
The Fix: My faves are: Calibri, Calibri Light, Open Sans Light, Franklin Gothic Book. Just hit Ctrl+A and choose a new font…done!

Reason 2: Overusing bullets
The Fix: Turn bullets that just describe your position into sentences and use bullets to highlight key results.

Reason 3: Hidden high points
The Fix: Based on the position you are targeting, move the most relevant points to the top. Make it easy for the reader to see the high points because that’s literally all they are looking for.

There’s a lot more summer left. What should I talk about for our July series? Hit reply and let me know.

Opportunity Awaits,

Ashley

Ashley's program helped me highlight my strengths in order to appeal to an employer and helped me define the things I want and need in a company so that we are a mutual compatible fit.

I have received three promotions and a larger salary since Ashley revamped my resume! I loved Ashley’s ability to listen but also take feedback from me without being offended. She is very knowledgeable and in some cases I asked her to use her best judgment because I trust her experience and know-how.

I received an immediate response to the updated resume! I’m on my second interview in the industry and position level I was seeking.  Absolute pleasure working with Ashley. She’s a true professional and I loved how easy our communication was.

When I first reached out to Ashley, I was feeling desperate to land a new job quickly. After she updated my resume, it took less than 1 week for me to receive a job offer. I feel much more confident and look forward to new career opportunities. The new resume and cover letter Ashley delivered to me were amazing! It took less than 1 week after posting my resume to receive 3 phone interviews, 2 in-person interviews, and a job offer!

Ashley did a great job of showcasing where I’m a specialist (when I often paint myself too often as a generalist) on my resume.

All around AWESOME experience, Ashley really feels like a partner in the process. It can be deeply frustrating finding the best way to showcase yourself in one page, but working with Ashley makes it far less daunting (dare I say even enjoyable?)
The way in which Ashley highlighted my skills is what put my résumé on top again and again! I was offered three different positions in less than a month. One potential employer even created a specialized position to match my skill set! Thanks to Ashley, when I walk into an interview I speak confidently, knowing any potential employer can easily see how I add value to their organization. Thank you Ashley, you blessed my life!

The way in which Ashley highlighted my skills is what put my résumé on top again and again! I recently started applying for jobs and was offered three different positions in less than a month.
Ashley was my saving grace! I initially didn’t think I had anything to work with considering my new career shift. Ashley was honest with me and after two calls she reassured me we had enough to make my past experience transferrable to my new career. Once completed I felt my brand was written perfectly on paper. Overall great experience. I will be recommending Ashley to others. Since revising my resume I've landed a role in my new field!

I now have a very specific resume that I can share with prospective employers. Ashley was very flexible and listened to what I wanted to feature as an expert in my industry while filling in the gaps with her expertise that resonates across industries.
