Spelling and punctuation
It really goes without saying that this is the faux pas of all faux pas! It will not matter that you have created the perfect layout, written the most effective text and the used the format that suits your career perfectly if you submit a resume that contains poor punctuation or spelling mistakes.
The first thing an employer/recruiter will think when they see a spelling mistake included in a resume is that you are careless and lack attention to detail, neither of which are attributes that will endear you as a candidate.
Spell-checking your resume simply won’t do. Computers are not infallible. Get your resume proofread by several people both friends and colleagues who are au fait with the terminology used within the resume.
Make sure that sentences are written in the correct context. Ensure that punctuation is accurate and that all spelling is correct. Sentence structure should be easy to read and professional in manner.
Don’t create an otherwise well-written resume only to have it discarded because you failed to cross your T’s and dot your I’ s! |
