Resume Tip #1 - Spelling Errors




I decided that I would try to give some advice on resume tips and anything that I can think of because as a Recruiter I go through hundreds of resumes and one of my personal pet peeves are spelling errors. If you have 1-2 errors fine, I'll give you that. I get it we're only human, but if you have a page full of errors it is definitely something that will start to reflect on you. Often time when I start to see a lot of spelling errors I tend to just pass on the candidate.




Another thing is typically employers will send you an application to fill out to bring to the interview or they will have you complete it on site. Be sure that your spelling errors are kept to a minimum as well. I understand that you're nervous you're trying to fill it out as quickly as possible but always be sure that you write neatly and with almost no errors.






Lesson to be learned? Always check your spelling.
