Why do you think I wouldn't point out the errors to him face to face?
And conversely, would you point me the guidelines face to face if I did that in real life? Are you yourself sticking to the guidelines here? The chances are that you wouldn't and you're not.

To free yourself from the fear of rejection. You must work backward. You start with the perception of the interviewer. What job you are applying for and what he might be expecting.
You accept his short attention span. You think ahead about what to present and most importantly in which order.
And if you are able to present the right things in the right order. Then the readers will pay attention to your CV. Not always (so you can’t be. disappointed) but most of the time.
Here are the five most important things recruiters look for in a CV in first seven seconds.
1- Recent Role: Is candidate's most recent experience relevant to the position for which they are hiring.
2-Keywords: If they are looking for an iOS Engineer, for example, and the words "iOS" or "Objective-C" don't even make a cameo appearance in someone's resume. It will be an instant rejection.
3-Experience:Is there a career progression? Does the person have increasing levels of responsibility? Do the titles make sense?
4-Projects: If the candidate has worked on any projects related to the job
5-Formatting: This includes spelling, grammar, ease of use, ability to clearly present ideas on CV.
