• Aspects to be Considered whilst Proofreading a
  Résumé

2

• Professional proofreaders offering résumé
  proofreading or editing services focus on the
  checklist that will be presented in this post.
  Editing can guarantee that a résumé is concise.
  Removing some important information while
  proofreading may not be a good idea. Writers are
  advised to follow this checklist to ensure that
  their résumés are flawless.

3

• Spelling Mistakes
• Avoid using unfamiliar or less familiar words.
  You may use a dictionary and thesaurus for adding
  accurate words to your résumé. It is advised that
  you read all the words carefully after writing in
  order to track errors also run the spellchecker
  to remove any spelling errors. Hire professional
  proofreaders who offer a non-academic
  proofreading service to ensure an impressive and
  error-free résumé.

4

• Punctuation Marks
• Whether it is a formal or an informal document,
  punctuation marks are very important. Full stops,
  commas, and so forth should be used
  appropriately. Again, placing punctuation marks
  in documents depends on the type of language you
  are using, that is, rules in American English may
  differ than rules in Australian English.

5

• Appropriate Words
• Since résumés have to be written formally, the
  words uses throughout are very important. Check
  the words and their meanings thoroughly before
  inserting them into your résumé. There are many
  confusing words that sound the same, but actually
  differ from each other in terms of their meanings.

6

• Accuracy and Neatness
• Résumés are the first impression any job seeker
  will make. The neatness of the document is the
  first item a recruiter checks. This is followed
  by verifying the accuracy of the details you have
  included in your résumé. Avoid adding false data,
  as it will ultimately create a negative
  impression of you on the recruiter during the
  interviewing process.

7

• Design Aspects
• Leave ample white space rather than cluttering
  the résumé with too many details. Keep it short
  and simple, providing a neat and clean
  presentation with accurate images. Keep the font
  size and font style (either Arial or Verdana)
  uniform throughout the document to facilitate
  readability.

8

• Unwanted Details
• Avoid adding details such as salary history,
  personal information, and hobbies unless asked to
  do so. Never add negative details, as it will
  create the wrong impression for the recruiter.

9

• All these aspects mentioned are important and
  require checking before you send your formal
  documents to professional proofreaders for
  ensuring an impressive résumé, which can help you
  obtain your dream job.
