EP 27. The Resume Mistakes That Get You Filtered Out Before a Human Ever Looks (EP 3 of 5 Mini Series)

Season 1 Episode 27

Are you applying for jobs but not getting interviews — even when you’re qualified?

In this episode, career and salary negotiation coach Evie breaks down the most common resume mistakes that get candidates filtered out by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) before a recruiter ever sees their application.

You’ll learn why resumes often don’t fail because of experience, but because of formatting, keyword gaps, and missing impact — and how to fix these issues without starting over.

This episode is part 1 of a 5-part mini-series called Why Your Resume Isn’t Getting Seen (And How to Fix It), where we break down why resumes get overlooked and how to fix it.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What it actually means to be “filtered out” by ATS
  • Resume formatting mistakes ATS can’t read
  • Why keyword gaps quietly lower ATS scores
  • The difference between responsibilities vs results
  • How unclear job titles hurt resume visibility
  • Why generic resumes underperform
  • How resume invisibility affects confidence and salary decisions
