Most candidates don’t get rejected in the interview.
They get rejected before the interview even starts, because their resume never makes it past the first screening.
At SkillPeak Technologies, we review hundreds of resumes every month, and we keep seeing the SAME mistakes.
Here’s how to avoid them –
✅ What to DO:
✔ Use the right keywords (ATS matters!)
✔ Start with a clear, strong header (who you are + what you bring)
✔ Use a clean, professional format that’s easy to scan
❌ What to AVOID:
✖ Fancy icons or graphics – they confuse ATS
✖ Profile photos – unnecessary unless job demands it
✖ Overloaded text – recruiters scan, not read every line
A well-structured resume isn’t about being “creative.”
It’s about being clear, relevant, and easy to shortlist.
