I don't know about this. My resume would fall into the category of some of the bad examples, but I've never had a problem getting contacted by companies or recruiters. In fact, I can count on one hand the amount of times I have not heard back from a company when reaching out to them.


The question isn't "can i get interviews with a bad resume?"

The question is "how many interview requests did I miss because of my bad resume?"

My company did the famous eye-tracking study that shows recruiters' first scan of your resume is 6 seconds long. In qualitative and quantitative research since then, we found what works best based on data.
