If you want to get a great start in a business career, you’ll need to have an excellent resume. And that means proofread, proofread, proofread! You can have a professional write one for you, of course, and that is highly recommended, but it never excuses you from the need to proofread. Do not depend on a resume writer to know the correct spellings of the firms where you have worked and the positions you have held. What about supervisor’s names? Your writer certainly won’t know those, so be sure not to make any careless errors that could be avoided with simple proofreading skills.
The best way to ensure total accuracy in a resume is to take the time to list every firm where you have worked, the position held, the supervisor’s name, and any other relevant material. If you have to call the firm to get this information and correct spellings, don’t be shy! Issues do arise when you have left a position in a bad way and don’t wish to communicate with them. This is understandable, but you simply must try to call a friend who worked or works there, look it up online, or find some other way to access the information. Just remember, spelling errors on your resume scream “careless worker!” and that is the last thing you want a potential employer to think!
