This might seem like it goes without saying, but proofreading your resume is one of the most important steps when applying to any job.
A resume full of errors, or even just a typo, shows that you lack attention to detail, or that the job isn’t important enough to you to merit your very best.
In 2013, Grammarly conducted a study of 50 active resumes posted on indeed.com and learned that there are 5 potential errors on a typical job seeker’s resume, most of which (nearly 60 percent) are grammatical.
In order to avoid having these mistakes on your own resume, ask at least one friend to thoroughly proofread for you before you apply for a job.
