Mistakes that cost interviews

Watch out for:

  • Inventing skills or metrics you cannot defend in an interview
  • Using one generic AI output for every job
  • Ignoring ATS formatting for flashy templates
  • Keyword stuffing that reads unnaturally
  • Skipping cover letters when the role expects them
  • Forgetting to update your master profile after edits
