ATS Formatting Mistakes
Using tables, columns, or text boxes (confuses parsers). Including images or icons (can't be read). Using non-standard section headings (parsers miss content). Using fancy fonts or small text (hard to read).
Content Mistakes
Being too generic (not tailored to the job). Using weak action verbs. Including irrelevant experience. Not quantifying results. Typos and grammatical errors. Using the same resume for every application.
