We could not read enough text
The file gave us almost no text to check, so we have not given it a score. This usually means it is a scan or photo of a paper CV, or a design export where the text is stored as an image.
Save the CV again from Word or Google Docs as a PDF or .docx, or use the "paste your CV text" option above.
