Edit My Resume

Edit My Resume

In my experience, almost every prospective client begins our conversation by saying: Please help me edit my resume. It only goes to say that almost everyone knows that a well-written and nicely presented resume can do wonders for your job search. So, before you send yours out, follow this checklist to ensure you are sending out a better quality representation of yourself.

And if you're interested in hiring a resume writer to have your current resume "re-written", you an always start here.

Capitalization

Use a manual such as The Gregg Reference Manual if you do not know the capitalization rules.

Grammar, Spelling, Punctuation

Use the grammar and spell check function, then print it out and read the document word for word. Spell checker doesn’t know that you meant "manager" when you actually typed "manger."

​Check for proper use of commas and semi-colons. Again, if you are unsure, refer to the Gregg Reference Manual.

Run-on Sentences

Check to make sure you do not have run-ons that are hard to read.

Consistency

You must be consistent with your number usage (dates, money, numbers), plurals, and abbreviations. For example, don’t list one date as 8/2020 and then list another date as 3/15/2019. Also, be aware of listing software consistently (abbreviation use). MS Word and Microsoft Outlook are both correct, but not consistent.
Education Section
When you have a degree, list only the year that you obtained your degree. When you list your dates, (i.e.: 9/2012 to 6/2015) many resume-scanning systems will not recognize that you obtained a degree, only that you attended college for a period of time
Ampersands, Pronouns, Numbers
Ampersands (&) - Ampersnds (&) DO NOT belong on a resume. There are a few exceptions. One exception is a well-known company name (AT&T). Another exception is well-known industry terms (P&L).

Pronouns - Pronouns are not allowed on a resume. As a rule 101 in resume-writing, the use of any pronouns on a conservative resume is not allowed (i.e.: Me, I, mine, my, you, your, yours, us, our, ours, them, their, theirs, he, him, his, she, her, hers.) For example, it is not advised to write sentences such as: “Helped clients with their projects” or “Supported the client to meet his objectives” or “Our aim was to support our clients’ vision”. 

Numbers - Spelling one-digit numbers vs two-digit numbers (or more) - Another rule in resume writing is to spell out one-digit numbers, but we type them as numbers when there are two digits or more.
