MS-Excel is on your list of skills. (and you didn't write a VBA enterprise- sized project) You Omitted work terms or education because you trimmed it to 1 page. You linked your github but it only has 4 commits; just academic work submissions. Someone can read the first 10 lines without understanding what you want to do. You used a default font that is not very readable.
You have a spellling mistake. You have dead links to old personal projects. You listed an employer that is not google-able and said nothing else about it. You have a project that you have spent less than a week on.<last week> - present. You linked your kaggle profile but it only has a single tutorial notebook in it. e.g. Titanic
Without your name email and phone number 5 other people you know might have the same resume. You aren't sure if you have a spelling mistake because no one had proofread it. You have sent out the same resume more than once. Youhave weird or inconsistent spacing. Inconsistent punctuation Some sentences end with a period some do not
You've included a language you've haven't touched in 5 years. You have included projects where you had a vague or non active role. You have used any of the following words: Synergy; Advocated; Architected. You posted a link to your linked-in page but it is out of date. You use more than one date format YYYY; MM/YYYY; or heaven forbid YY/MM; MM/YY
Didn't read Steve Yegge's blogpost: Ten Tips for Slightly Less Awful Resume. Job experience irrelevant to application. (parking attendant - 2 weeks). Did not delete achievement that was eclipsed by subsequent similar much better one. Your current employment status (student; graduating; employed) not discernable. Your second page contains a single line.
