Section by section
Formatting
64Three fonts, two column layouts and a header that's 20% of the page. Bold choice.
Fix: One font, one column, name at 20pt max.
Experience
52“Responsible for various tasks” is not experience. It's a horoscope.
Fix: Lead every bullet with a verb and a concrete outcome.
Impact & Metrics
38Zero numbers. Not one. Did anything you did ever get measured?
Fix: Add a number to at least 3 bullets: %, $, users, hours saved.
Skills
71Listing “Microsoft Word” in 2026 is the resume equivalent of “can breathe”.
Fix: Cut basics; group real skills: Languages, Frameworks, Tools.
Education
78Solid. Though nobody needs your high school if you're in college.
Fix: Drop high school; add relevant coursework.
ATS Readiness
45Your skills live inside a graphic. The robots can't read graphics. Neither can recruiters at 6pm.
Fix: Move skills to plain text; export as a simple PDF.

Recruiter's 6-second take
“I see a student with a decent internship buried under a novel-length summary. I'm not finding numbers, so I'm assuming the impact was small. I skimmed past the skills graphic entirely. Maybe pile.”
