About Kit Samuels Resume Writing Service:
Kit Samuels, a professional resume writer with over 10 years of experience developing high-quality resumes and cover letters, understands that with so much competition flooding the job market, you need professional resume writing that stands out--resume writing that is clear, readable, and that effectively highlights your most significant career and educational achievements. Resume writing that ultimately grabs the attention of employers and results in a job interview, which leads to the position you want most. High-quality, professional resume writing is definitely something you need in this increasingly competitive job market.
Okay, I know. You’ve probably heard it thousands of times—watch your spelling, watch your grammar. Honestly, I get sick of reading those rules myself—and I’m a writer! But it’s so true, and I can’t stress it enough. And it’s definitely something you shouldn’t ignore.
There are times I’ll be kicking back, enjoying a good cup of coffee or treating myself to a bottle of that delicious Thomas Kemper Vanilla Crème Soda, totally immersed in a great article. Next thing I know, up pops a blatant typo, or an error in grammar.
Okay, so I’ll let it go. It throws me a little, but I keep reading. Few seconds later, another one. Eventually, another one pops up. Here’s my point—this article can be great, fantastic, but things like typos and grammatical errors, especially if they keep appearing, just derail my concentration. One typo, I keep going, but more than that, I start cringing and sadly, losing respect for the article, and even the writer.
Well, you might think that’s a bit picky when it comes to reading articles, but it helps to have that kind of attitude. It makes you something of a perfectionist, which can only help you when it comes to creating your own resumes and cover letters. So here’s what you need to do to avoid having those terrible spelling blemishes appear all over your resumes & cover letters:
Run a spell check on your resume and cover letter. A warning about spell checks—don’t totally rely on them. Computer spell checks will pick out words that aren’t misspelled (to, two, too), or skip over words that don’t belong in a sentence. So what do you do?
Run your own manual spell check. Look it over, and read it aloud—this will
help you catch more errors a lot faster.
Pass your resume and cover letter along to a friend or two and let them
read—chances are, they might end up catching something you’ve missed.
