Not telling you makes it more likely that the person would go "oh, right, 
I need to fix that" and not pay for the service.  The more vague, the 
better.

But in terms of selling a service, you want to be vague in this manner to 
try to sell the service.  If I tell you that the description for your 
first job entry is poorly formatted, you know what to fix and can seek 
out sample CVs to see how you could make it better.

If I don't tell you, then you don't even know what to search for.

That's also likely true.
