February 27, 20266 min read
Mistake 1: No clear role identity
If a recruiter cannot define your role quickly, they move on.
Mistake 2: Highlight-only narrative
Highlights matter, but without performance context they are hard to trust for decision-making.
Mistake 3: Weak contact flow
Broken or hidden contact paths are one of the highest-impact conversion leaks in recruitment funnels.
Correction framework
Fix sequence: role clarity -> evidence quality -> contact speed.
- Lead with role and level.
- Pair clips with supporting metrics.
- Use one clear contact CTA above the fold.
