5 resume mistakes that trigger an auto-reject

Plenty of strong candidates never reach a human because of fixable mistakes. Here are the five most common.

  • Tables and columns that scramble in an applicant tracking system.
  • Missing the exact keywords from the posting.
  • Vague bullets with no outcomes or numbers.
  • A generic summary that could belong to anyone.
  • Inconsistent dates or formatting that reads as careless.

Each one is quick to fix — and tailoring your resume to the posting solves most of them at once.
