Why most resumes fail
You're competing against bots, not just other humans.
Three reasons your applications go silent — and how we fix them.
75% of resumes never reach a human
Applicant Tracking Systems silently filter you out for missing keywords, weird formatting, or columns the bot can't parse.
Generic templates don't sell you
Free Word and Canva templates make you look like every other applicant — and bury your actual achievements in fluff.
AI-written resumes get ignored
Recruiters spot ChatGPT prose in seconds. "Spearheaded synergistic initiatives" is a one-way ticket to the no pile.
