Make Your Resume Reader-Friendly
Wrapping up our series on preventing your resume from entering a "black hole" by Mary Jeanne Vincent of WorkWise.
Problem: Your résumé is difficult to read. It may be that it contains typos or poor grammar, or perhaps the type is too small or difficult to read.
Solution: Use the Spell check and Grammar check functions on your computer to check for obvious mistakes. Ask a friend with an eye for editing to review your résumé. Ask for feedback on the readability of the size and style of type. The key is to make it easy on the reader's eyes.
