1. Too Long Resume

Freshers often try to fill pages to look impressive.

But recruiters do not want your life story.
They want quick information.

Problem
If your resume is 3 to 5 pages, the recruiter will skip it.

Correct way
Keep it 1 page.
Maximum 2 pages only if you have many projects.

2. Writing Objective Like Everyone Else

Many resumes start with lines like
I want a challenging job to improve my skills and grow the organization.

This line is written by almost every candidate.
It does not tell anything about you.

Correct way
Write what role you are applying for and what skills you have.

Example
Computer science graduate with Java and SQL knowledge looking for entry level developer role.

3. Listing Skills You Cannot Explain

This is the biggest rejection reason.

Students copy skills from internet or friends resume.
During interview they cannot answer basic questions.

Result
Recruiter loses trust immediately.

Rule
If you write a skill, you must be ready to explain and show example.

4. No Projects or Only College Title

Some resumes only mention
Library Management System
without explanation.

Recruiter cannot understand what you actually did.

Correct way
Mention
what problem you solved
what technology you used
what your role was

5. Bad Formatting and Messy Design

Different fonts
random colors
uneven spacing
too many bold words

This makes resume difficult to read.

Remember
Recruiters prefer clean resumes, not artistic posters.

6. Grammar and Spelling Errors

Small mistakes show carelessness.

Example
Developed a project for manage data and store informations.

This creates negative impression even before interview.

Always check grammar before sending.

7. Including Irrelevant Personal Details

Many freshers add

father name
religion
weight
height
full address paragraph

Companies do not need this.

Keep only
name
phone
email
city
LinkedIn or GitHub

8. No Proof of Work

Writing skills is not enough today.

Recruiters want proof.

Add links
GitHub
portfolio
project demo

Without proof your skills look theoretical.

9. Same Resume for Every Job

Sending one resume to all companies is a common mistake.

Different roles need different skills.

Example
Developer resume and testing resume cannot be same.

Always modify skills and projects based on job role.

Conclusion

A good resume does not get you a job
but a bad resume definitely loses the job.

Your goal is simple
make it clear
make it honest
make it easy to read

If recruiter understands your profile in 10 seconds
you will get interview calls.
