Took me 6 months to fix a resume typo that was killing my interviews

I kept getting rejected after first rounds and figured it was my experience. Then a recruiter finally told me my contact email had a typo from when I set it up in 2021, so follow-ups went nowhere. Has anyone else had a tiny formatting mistake tank their chances without knowing it?

Honestly, that’s brutal. I heard a story once about a guy who had the wrong area code on his resume for months, and he was wondering why nobody called him back. It’s crazy how one tiny detail can just kill everything, especially when the rest of your resume is solid. Probably worth checking every link and email address on there like once a month, tbh.
