Frequently asked questions

What makes a resume strong?

A strong resume is relevant to the role, easy to scan and supported by credible examples of responsibility and results.

What are common resume weaknesses?

Common weaknesses include generic summaries, unclear responsibilities, missing outcomes and poor alignment with the vacancy.

Can the same resume have different strengths for different jobs?

Yes. A detail that is highly relevant to one role may matter less for another, which is why the job description is necessary.

How many weaknesses should I fix first?
