5 Signs Your Resume Needs a Rewrite

Not getting callbacks? Your resume might be the problem. Here are five clear signs it is time for a rewrite.

1. You Are Using the Same Resume for Every Job

If you have not customized your resume in the last six months or for your last 10 applications, you are missing opportunities.

2. Your ATS Score Is Below 70%

A low ATS score means your resume is not getting through the filter. Use ResuMatch to check your score and identify gaps.

3. You Have Not Updated It in Over a Year

If your resume still lists achievements from 2023, recruiters will assume you have not grown professionally.

4. It Exceeds Two Pages

For most professionals, a one-page resume is ideal. Two pages is acceptable for senior roles with 10+ years of experience. Anything more is too long.

5. You Are Not Getting Any Interview Calls

If you are applying to relevant roles and not hearing back, your resume is likely not passing the initial screening.
