Be careful in your job search
You have heard it a million times, but it doesn’t hurt to hear it one more time. Proofread, proofread and proofread your resume. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t see terrible grammar, punctuation and spelling mistakes. That’s why there’s a market for professional resume writers. Yes, it is easy to miss the typos. We all make mistakes. But you should make every effort to get your documentation perfect. Get several people to proofread your resume. Remember, no one will tell you that you didn’t get the job because of your resume errors.
Just to tickle your funny bone, here are a few actual sentences taken from resumes:
- “Wholly responsible for two failed financial institutions.”
- “Received a plague for Salesperson of the Year.”
- “Failed bar exam with relatively high marks.”
- “It’s best for employers that I not work with people.”
- “The company made me a scapegoat, just like my three previous employers.”
- “Objective: My goal is to be a meteorologist. But since I possess no training in meteorology, I suppose I should try stock brokerage.”
We have only scratched the surface. All of us can think of gaffes and goofs we have seen in others as well as in ourselves. You should make every effort to take care of all the details in your job search in order to become the candidate of choice.
