Bad Resumes have these 4 things in common

1. Not enough numbers
Numbers are easy for humans to digest and absorb their meaning. So add 20% more numbers to your resume.

2. Bad formatting or too long

3. Your relevant skills are too hard to find.
If you are applying for a temp accounting job... highlight your accounting experience. See above about filling your resume full of pizza jobs.

4. Your resume is suspiciously vague or boring.
It only takes one sentence to state that you graduated from college. not a paragraph. and most likely, your college experience does not have relevance to the application.
