make your resume stand out — spell-check it
May 30th, 2007 by the medical sales recruiter
I had a great discussion with a medical sales candidate last week. Very sharp, but her resume had a spelling error in the first sentence. In the era of spell-check, this is unacceptable. Rock Your Career has a great article on how to make your resume stand out that points out that “63% of HR managers report that spelling errors are the most annoying mistakes they see on resumes”. What kind of impression will that make? Remember, though, even spell-check doesn’t catch everything. Proofread it yourself, and then proofread it again before you turn it in. It is worth the extra time! Good Luck!!
