If you send your resume template to an employer or employment agency and it is littered with spelling mistakes this will damage your chances of winning a job interview. First impressions, although not everything, do count. If your resume or cover letter contains some mistakes the person reading it will think;
- You don’t care about attention to detail
- You rush your work
- You are not thorough
- You have sent the job application without thinking
- You are careless
These are not the traits you want to demonstrate! So before you send out your resume ensure;
- You thoroughly check through it for spelling mistakes
- Re-read your cover letter to ensure you have addressed it correctly
- Spot any generic terms which could be changed into something more elaborate
- Check your skills, work experience and qualifications listed on your resume match what you say in the cover letter
- Ensure you haven’t missed out any vital details that are relevant to the job
- Ask a friend to read through your resume
