- Listing tools (Zendesk, CRM) without the scale of tickets or customers supported
- Missing evidence of handling escalations or difficult customers under pressure
- Failing to show any process improvement contributed (macros, documentation, playbooks)
- Treating the resume like a job description instead of a performance record
