Original caption

‼️ Your 2-column resume might be screwing up your job search!!! People send me these all the time asking me to re-do them or ask why it’s not working. Some ATS systems can’t read them properly and most recruiters hate them. And as a professional resume writer, I hate them because they typically do a poor job of actually selling a candidate. They may look pretty, but they’re not a good idea. If you want a proper resume that works, DM me or check out how to build one at NoBSCareerSuccess.com #jobsearch #jobsearchtips #careercoach #resume
