How To Write a Resume – Typos

You would be AMAZED how many resumes I see come across my desk that are FULL of spelling errors, incomplete sentences, bad syntax errors, and just all around poor english grammar!

You may be extremely qualified for the job your applying for BUT, if you cant even write a resume odds are your future employer will just skip over your resume!

If your anything like me you have probably reviewed your resume hundreds, if not thousands of times! It gets pretty hard to review your resume for possible errors after staring at it for hours and hours.

My personal suggestion is BEFORE you submit for your resume for job applications send your resume to as many friends/colleagues as possible to get feedback on your resume as a whole AND have them check for spelling mistakes.

With “spell check” the common problems are so much “misspelled” words as they are the wrong spelling/meaning of the word!

For example … a common mistake I see is “their” and “there” … although spelled correctly they have 2 very different applications in a sentence.

DO NOT submit your resume till it has been reviewed by people for mistakes!
