Yes, there have been a lot of instances where I have seen resumes that felt like I had to dig deep and hard to find the core skills and experience of the applicant. A few points I believe could help you are as follows: 1. Tailor your resume to each job by emphasizing relevant skills and experiences. 2. Use clear, professional formatting with consistent fonts and bullet points. 3. Start with a strong summary showcasing your top qualifications and value. 4. Quantify achievements with metrics to demonstrate impact. 5. Highlight key skills with a dedicated section and align them with the job description. 6. Proofread thoroughly to ensure clarity and eliminate errors. 7. Seek feedback from mentors or professionals in your field.

A simple word document is the best format for a résumé. Forget about fancy design; as a former HR recruiter, I can assure you that what mattered to me and to all my colleagues content presented in a clear an error, proof manner

If your resume design is being misinterpreted, simplify the layout to ensure your qualifications take center stage. Use a clean, professional format with clear headings and bullet points to organize information effectively. Highlight key achievements and skills in a prominent section and minimize decorative elements that could distract from the content. The goal is to make your qualifications stand out while maintaining an aesthetic that’s easy to read and ATS-friendly.

Your resume should be so clear that it is see through. 😬 It should tell a story that aligns your background directly with the target position. This may mean that you have to remove information that isn’t relevant. You should change: -Your résumé headline. -Your executive summary. - 2 to 3 quantifiable achievement highlights at the top. - The keywords section. *Keywords pulled directly from the job description can positively increase your ATS score. If your résumé is unclear to the reader, then it isn’t tailored to the specific position well enough. You should be modifying your resume every single time you apply to a new position. Happy Hunting!
