The most important step in fixing your resume is to make sure your name is sufficiently white. Don't be called Muhammad, your name should be John or Dave or something if you want a job.

My worst interviewee showed up 14 minutes late as I was packing myself up, congratulated himself on showing up at all, then started asking me what it would take to get fired from the position

Don't ask that during an interview!!!

the analogy with dating is true in that there's a weird bubble of self-help pseudo-science on how you'll be able to improve your profile or CV by doing X

Here's like 90% of my resume help condensed into one post:

1) use a free template online. your resume needs to look like it was made this decade
2) have an active verb be the first word of each of your bullet points
3) use as many numbers as possible
4) show, don't tell
5) you don't give a poo poo about what you did more than 3 years ago, so why should anyone else?


Edit: special one: don't tell me you have a great attention to detail then misspell words/have grammatical errors on your resume

the non formatting stuff you mention is the vague subjective BS I’m talking about

it might work for you but there are other hiring managers who’d give the exact opposite advice

It depends but a good example would be instead of saying "I'm good at my job" on your resume, you should say "I exceeded X Y & Z metrics". The latter tells me you were good at your job without you explicitly saying it

Same with the attention to detail thing. Don't tell me you have it, show it by having a really slick resume that you cared enough to run through spellcheck

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

The interview : dating metaphor holds up here too because asking a hiring manager for resume advice is about as useful as asking them for relationship advice (and by that I mean should do both in an interview)
