What are the things that would be wrong?
Formatting is honestly a big part. Left align what matters.
Too wordy, missing key details, too big, too small, etc

Every single time I've had someone complain to me about job offers, I'll grab a random job posting I find and ask em to send me the version of their resume + cover letter they would send to that specific posting.
Quite often within a min or two I can find several reasons why their resume would've gotten bin'd
