Edit and Proofread Resume
Since the resume will be the first impression with an employer, ask a friend or colleague to review the document for any grammatical errors or typos. Does the resume convey your talents precisely? Do you have the correct contact information? Ask yourself these questions before your resume can be posted.
Find a Good Employer
