April 18, 2013 Update: The authenticity of this program was verified by About.com's Alison Doyle on the About.com Job Search blog. Our thanks go to Alison for helping protect job seekers from scams.

We know the job market is still tough and we know that some people don't feel like they have a friend in their corner. If you are struggling to find a job, we want to help by proofreading your resume for free. Our goal is to proofread at least 1,000 resumes for people who could use a hand. When we hit that goal, we'll see if we can keep going.

Our professional proofreaders will check resumes for:

Grammar

Spelling

Formatting inconsistencies

Word choice

Sentence structure

Why are we doing this?

A better question might be this: Why don't more companies do things like this? We are in a privileged position and very much aware that many people helped us to get here. The least we can do is pay it forward by helping at least 1,000 people get on their feet.

April 20, 2013 Update: We've been inundated with hundreds of requests for free resume proofreading this week. Going forward, you must be a resident of the United States to submit a resume for free proofreading. Preference will be given to: Veterans
