Monday Motivation | Rely on Friends

Kick off your week with Monday Motivation.

Tip of the week

Ask a friend to proofread your resume. People who are less familiar with a document can often see errors more clearly, and while spellcheck can help you spot obvious typos, it misses a number of common errors. For example, Spell Check does not notice if you write “your” instead of “you’re” – one of the most common resume and cover letter mistakes. Therefore, be sure to thoroughly edit each document yourself and have another pair of eyes review it for you.
