It is て-form + もらう, a very common pattern in Japanese.

• 見て = the て-form of 見る (to look at / to check)
• もらいました = past polite form of もらう (to receive)

When you combine them, Vて もらう means to receive the favor/benefit of someone doing something.

So 見てもらいました does not just mean looked. It means something like:

• had someone look at it
• got someone to look at it
• received the favor of someone checking it

This pattern focuses on the action as something beneficial to the speaker.

In Vて もらう, the person who does the action is often marked with に.

So in:

• 母に見てもらいました

母に means by my mother / from my mother, depending on how you explain it in English.

A helpful way to think about it is:

• 私は = as for me
• 母に = from my mother / by my mother
• 見てもらいました = received the favor of having it checked

So に marks the person who performed the helpful action.

Because 履歴書 is the thing being looked at.

The base verb is 見る, and the thing you look at is marked with を:

• 履歴書を見る = to look at a résumé

Then that whole action becomes part of the Vて もらう pattern:

• 履歴書を見てもらいました = I had someone look at my résumé

Even though English often says look at, Japanese 見る directly takes を for its object.

は marks the topic, not necessarily the grammatical subject in the same way as English.

私は sets up the sentence as being about me:

• As for me, I had my mother look at my résumé.

In this sentence, 私 is the person who received the favor, so it makes sense as the topic.

Also, in natural Japanese, 私は is often omitted if it is already clear from context:

• 履歴書を母に見てもらいました。

That would still sound very natural.

Not exactly.

In English, I had my mother look at it can sometimes sound like I arranged for her to do it, and in some contexts even slightly like I made her do it.

But 見てもらいました is not the Japanese causative form. It is the benefactive/receiving pattern. It suggests that the speaker benefited from the mother’s action.

So the nuance is closer to:

• My mother looked over my résumé for me
• I got my mother to check my résumé
• My mother did me the favor of checking my résumé

If you wanted a true causative idea like made/let someone do, Japanese would use a different structure.

Because the two sentences express different viewpoints.

• 母が履歴書を見ました。
  = My mother looked at the résumé.
  This just states the action.

• 私は履歴書を母に見てもらいました。
  = I had my mother look at my résumé / My mother looked at my résumé for me.
  This highlights that the action was beneficial to me.

So もらう adds the idea of receiving a favor/help. That is a very important nuance in Japanese.

もらいました is the polite past form.

• dictionary form: もらう
• plain past: もらった
• polite past: もらいました

So the sentence is in a polite style. A plain-style version would be:

• 私は履歴書を母に見てもらった。

Japanese often keeps the whole sentence in one consistent speech level, so because it is polite, the final verb is polite.

Yes.

• dictionary form: 見る
• て-form: 見て

The て-form connects 見る to もらう.

So:

• 見る = to see / to look at
• 見てもらう = to receive the favor of someone looking at it

This is one of the most common uses of the て-form: linking a main action to an auxiliary verb such as もらう, くれる, or あげる.

Because when talking about your own family to other people, Japanese usually uses the plain family term rather than the honorific one.

So:

• 母 = my mother
• お母さん = mother / someone else’s mother / a more directly addressed form

In a sentence like this, 母 is the normal choice if you are referring to your own mother in a neutral way.

Also, the reading here is usually:

• 母 = はは
• 履歴書 = りれきしょ

Yes, to some extent.

Because Japanese uses particles, word order is more flexible than in English. For example, these are all possible:

• 私は履歴書を母に見てもらいました。
• 私は母に履歴書を見てもらいました。
• 履歴書を母に見てもらいました。

They all mean roughly the same thing.

However, some orders sound more natural depending on context, emphasis, and rhythm. The original sentence is completely natural.

The most important thing is not the exact word order, but the particles:

• は = topic
• を = object
• に = person who did the favor

These forms show the same event from different viewpoints.

• 見てもらいました
  = I received the favor of someone looking at it
  Focus: the receiver of the favor

• 母が履歴書を見てくれました
  = My mother kindly looked at my résumé (for me)
  Focus: the giver of the favor, from the speaker’s perspective

• 母に履歴書を見てあげました
  would mean I looked at the résumé for my mother, so it is a completely different meaning

So for this sentence, もらう is the right choice if the speaker wants to say I got my mother to check it for me.

Here, 見る means more than simply see with your eyes.

With something like 履歴書, 見る often means:

• look at
• check
• review
• look over

So 履歴書を見てもらいました usually implies that the mother checked the résumé, probably to give feedback or make sure it was good.

That is why in natural English this is often translated as something like:

• I had my mother look over my résumé.
• I asked my mother to check my résumé.

Even if the basic verb is 見る, the actual nuance depends on the object and context.
