Resume Blunders

So many times I have reviewed resumés only to find a typo that has not been caught by "spell check." Sometimes the mistake can be a critical one.

• Shift Manager with the F left out
• Public Speaker without the L

These errors are common and easily avoidable simply by having another pair of eyes review your document.

Sometimes a cover letter will be addressed to the person it was previously sent to instead of a new employer.

If you had one piece of advice to share with a job seeker, what would it be?

Please post your responses - especially if you have any funny resume blunders to share. I leave you with these thoughts....

• On Application: Reason for leaving last job: "Maturity leave"
• On Resume: "Am a perfectionist and rarely if if ever forget details"
• On Resume: "Instrumental in ruining entire operation for a Midwest chain store"
• On Cover letter: "Thank you for your consideration. Hope to hear from you shorty!"
