May you please review my resume?

When asking someone politely to do something for you you say "Could you..." not "May you...". "May I..." is used when you are asking someone else if you're allowed to do something and basically means "Do I have permission to...". So by you starting the question with "May you... " you are asking if we have permission to review your r�sum�, which doesn't exactly make sense.
