How We Helped a Planning Engineer Get More Interview Calls with Our Resume Writing Services

We recently worked with a Planning Engineer struggling to get interview callbacks despite applying to several roles. Frustrated with constant rejections, he turned to us for help.

In this case study, we’ll walk you through the exact resume mistakes that were hurting his chances, how we fixed them, and what impact our resume writing services had.

Client Background and Objective

The client opted for our Intermediate Package. During the consultation, he explained:

• He wasn’t getting shortlisted for any of the roles he applied to.
• He had no clue why his resume wasn’t working despite having relevant qualifications.
• He had made the resume himself without understanding how modern job applications work.

Key Mistakes Identified

After a detailed resume review, we identified 4 major issues:

1. Two-Page Resume for a Fresher Role

As someone early in his career, a one-page resume was more appropriate. The extra length diluted key information and made the resume appear unfocused.

2. Poor Formatting and Outdated Layout

The resume used a basic, outdated format with too much white space and no visual structure. It lacked any professional formatting making it boring to look at and hard to scan.

3. Generic Language in Bullet Points

His experience section had responsibility-focused bullets instead of achievement-driven language. It didn’t reflect the value he brought to the projects.

4. Not Tailored for Today’s Job Market

The resume wasn’t ATS-compliant, had no keyword optimization, and didn’t reflect current trends in resume writing. It looked more like a college assignment than a job application.

Here’s How We Fixed These Issues with our resume writing services

We built a modern, ATS-friendly resume from scratch, focusing on:

1. Crisp One-Page Format

Reduced the resume to one page without compromising on essential details.

2. Impact-Oriented Language

Rewrote all bullet points to highlight the impact and skills used rather than listing duties.

3. Highlighting Skills

Showcased technical and transferable skills within the experience section, making them visible to both ATS and hiring managers.

4. Visually Optimized, ATS Friendly Resume

Used a clean, professional layout that was ATS-compliant while still being easy to read and visually engaging.
