No Mistakes Resumes Checklist

No Mistakes Resumes Checklist:

Looking for a job? Donât do this:

â¢Â DonâtÂ send a resume without a cover letter.

â¢Â DonâtÂ include an objective.

â¢Â DonâtÂ include a summary.

â¢Â DonâtÂ send a resume with mistakes.

But definitely do this:

â Â DoÂ research on the company and the job.

â Â TailorÂ your resume specifically for the job description.

â Â ShowÂ themâdonâtÂ tellÂ themâwhy youâre the person they should consider.

Before Your Resume Goes Out Check It For The Following:

Formatting:

â Make sure you have your email and phone number at the top, under your name.

â Are the fonts the right size?

â Are the margins set to at least 1 inch on all sides?

â Is the âviewâ set to 100%?

â Do you have enough white space?

Order:

â Is âEducationâ listed up front?

â Did you include descriptions for the companies?

â Are all of your dates of employment correct? Did you include the months?

â Are your titles listed properly, with dates for each one?

Content:

â List only the responsibilities that are relevant for the job.

â List the top few accomplishments and make them relevant.

â Make sure you use bullets; donât lump the text together.

â Be sure to use impact words.

â Were you specific? Did you use numbers, percentages, and dollars to quantify

accomplishments?

Cover Letter:

â Is your cover letter addressed properly?

â Does your cover letter sell you?

â Make sure your cover letter addresses the key points of the job description.

â Does your cover letter follow the three-section rule: Introduction, Sell, and Close? Mistake check:

â Go through everything meticulously.

â Have someone else go through it.

â Make sure you didnât misuse any words.

â Check especially for homonyms, the ones the spell checkers donât find.

â Double check for grammar, punctuation mistakes, and misused words. This is where

they show up most often.

Resume Donâts: (yes, some of this is repeating what I said above, but itâs that important.)

â Donât include an objective or summary.

â Donât include a personal or hobbies section.

â Donât lie or exaggerate.

â Donât send your resume with mistakes.
