1. Resume has typos and errors.
A resume filled with typo and errors indicates who you are as a person. Most recruiters indicate this is a no no.
Remember, first impressions matter and little erros like that can cost you that remarkable first impression.

2. Your resume is boring.
If a recruiter doesn't use an ATS to review resumes but does it manually, least they want is to be bored by a resume.
Avoid this by simply highlighting your strengths and accomplishments. However, make sure it doesn't lack originality.

3. The length of the resume.
As much as you want to fit all your education, experience, skills and achievements on your resume, it shouldn't be a manuscript.
Avoid this by keeping it to a bare-minimum. Recruiters will readily go for a 2-3 page resume.

4. Resume has a picture on it.
They say pictures either have a good effect or a not-so-good-effect at first glance. Recruiters are humans too.
As this isn't a visa application, if they need to see what you look like they'd call you for an interview.
