1. Some links on the resume (github, portfolio, linkedIn) return 404 or access denied. This is suprisingly common.

2. Little facts / actual performance data, and over use of words such as "passionate", "strong", "self-motivated", "success", "thrive", etc when describing themselves in the resume.

3. Changing jobs very frequently and no consistent theme in jobs, say 5 jobs in 5 years, one in A.I., one in e-commerce, one in gaming, without specific pursuit of interest.

4. Have a big, long "technology used" for a project. For example, "technology used" in a project includes "Python, Java, Javascript, HTML, CSS, jQuery, SQL, C#, Django, Messaging, C, Bash.."

5. Too specific on trivial details in a large project, such as "work on JSON network request and return error codes to frontend".

6. When sending your document, try sending a PDF but not a .docx
