Typos on the Resume
I just interviewed a recruiter who told me that he throws away resumes that contain just one typo or spelling error. No second chances there!
While not all recruiters are that much of a stickler, it makes me wonder how many job seekers are losing opportunities because they didn't proofread their resumes. When you think about it in the context of lost wages or lost opportunities, the importance of proofreading your resume hits home.
I would also say it's an excellent investment to hire a writer if you're not comfortable with your own proofreading skills. You will probably see an enormous ROI.
All the best,
P.S. - I'm thrilled that people are submitting their resumes for a free critique on this thread. If you would like your resume reviewed, submit your resume as a comment on that thread, and I'll review ASAP.
