Your resume is probably the reason you’re not getting interviews.

Not your experience.

Not your degree.

Not the job market.

Here’s what’s really holding you back:

❌ Generic CVs

❌ Buzzwords like “team player” or “go-getter”

❌ Paragraphs nobody has time to read

❌ No links to your actual work

Here’s how to fix it 👇

✅ Tailor your headline and keywords

↳ Match your job title + skills to each role

✅ Hyperlink your portfolio or LinkedIn

↳ Make it one click to see your best work

✅ Prove soft skills with examples

↳ Don’t say you’re “great at teamwork” — show it

✅ Use 2–4 sharp bullet points per job

↳ Use STAR or XYZ methods to show impact

✅ Ditch blocks of text

↳ Recruiters spend 6–8 seconds on your CV. Make every word count.

Your resume isn’t your life story.

It’s your highlight reel.

Make it look like one.
