Edit your resume. Its very impotent. -) - Have you ever written an important document, poured over it a million times and sent it off, only to find that you included a silly error? Like, Im looking forward too meeting you or Its nice the the market is recovering (can you find the two errors in that sentence)?   Your resume is as important a document as any, and the list of potential errors long. Thanks to Lindsay Olson, who blogs about recruiting and PR, for sharing this terrific video that she saw on Rowan Manahans blog, Fortify Your Oasis. The video offers an exaggerated example of why you cant assume that your spell check is a good editor! How often are words misspelled only to inadvertently  form other words?  You dont want to advertise that you were distinguished as the best manger of the year. I headed up a career center in a school of public health. You can only imagine how many of my students were touting thier credentials as something slightly indecent! (Think public without the all important L!) Be sure to read through your resume, and have a trusted friend review it as well. (Or a professional!)   You never know when public may become indecent, or youve used suing instead of using.   The list goes on and on: their/there, and/an, faculty/facility, board/bored A tip to consider:   create an  exclusion dictionary in your  Microsoft Office program.   This personalized dictionary will flag a word as misspelled (such as manger), even though the main dictionary knows it as a proper word. In the meantime, take a look at this video for a good laugh! Learn more about what I can do for you and how you can benefit by hiring a professional to help you.
