How to proofread

Your resume must be error-free.
Just one misspelled word or punctuation error can ruin all your hard work. I’ve spoken with several hiring managers who say they won’t call a candidate whose resume contains typos.

You should proofread your resume four times for four areas:

1. Spelling.
2. Spacing.
3. Punctuation.
4. and Content.

Print the resume before you proofread it.
This makes it much easier to read. You’d be surprised how many errors become visible on a printed page versus a computer screen.
