I don’t currently offer resume writing as a service because I haven’t undergone any recent training but I do occasionally offer advice to friends and family. A resume is a candidate’s first impression. First impressions count and therefore it’s important to have a professional resume. If your budget doesn’t stretch to hiring a professional resume writer, at least consider getting it proofread. Some of the entries in the 150 Funniest Resume Mistakes have clearly been written by someone with a sense of humour. Others are simply odd but many have been let down by typos. Does it matter? Yes it does. According to SmartCompany, “Poor spelling and grammar and a failure to understand what constitutes appropriate corporate behaviour are the biggest bugbears…” for employers. If your resume isn’t up to scratch, what confidence will the company have in your ability to communicate with colleagues and clients?
I genuinely enjoyed reading this post.Thank you.
