Guaranteed Resumes
This week I'd like to tell you about a fast, easy way to make a dramatic
improvement in your resume. It's this: ask a trusted friend to read it.
Sound obvious? If it were, I wouldn't see misspellings and grammatical
errors in the dozens of resumes people send me every week. These resumes are
written by literate people, just like you and me. But most folks are simply
too involved with the contents of their resumes. They miss the forest for
the trees and fail to see mistakes in spelling or grammar that are obvious
to someone else reading their resume for the first time.
That's why it's crucial to get a second opinion from someone you trust.
When your friend is reading your resume, ask him or her to check these
areas: the accuracy of commas, periods and hyphens; spacing between words;
spelling of words; and the overall meaning of the document.
A spell checker won't spot the difference between "there" "their" and
"they're", but your reader will! So ask your friend to circle every word
that isn't 100% clear. This will help you produce a resume that's 100%
accurate!
There are other areas, but these are where most mistakes occur. Best of luck
to you!
