Are you still sending out your resume as a word doc rather than a PDF or trying to hide gaps in employment by experimenting with format (skills-based resume, anyone)? While the reasons you’re chosen or not for an interview can remain a mystery, the resume mistakes that will dampen your chances aren’t.
One thing to keep in mind is the perspective of your potential employer, who may be sifting through hundreds of applications. Make your resume accessible and easy to understand, because the likelihood is that the hiring manager won’t have the time to decipher a poorly formatted resume.
