These are all great tips to make sure that your resume is well written. I also do the reading backwards trick and will usually get three or four people to read over my resume before I even consider handing it out. It’s also very important to insure that the most relevant information is the information that stands out. If you want to include some other things that may not be as important, but could be the scale tipper into your favour, I would suggest putting those in a category at the end of your resume.

Hi Amy,

Thanks. That is a good point i.e. reading it backward. I’ve never done it that way, but I know some of my own Proofreaders do.

Hope you are doing well!

Hi, Erin,
You make an essential point. The devil is truly in the details. One great way to proofread, whether your own document or someone else’s, is to read it sentence by sentence, bullet by bullet–backward. That way you don’t get caught up in the story and overlook critical proofing errors.

Hope you’re having a great day!
Amy
