5. CURRENT CONTACT INFORMATION AND GOOD SPELLING: Ok, I know this should be totally obvious, but you would be flabbergasted if you knew how many resumes I see daily that have atrocious spelling. In addition, I come across a good number of resumes that don’t have the correct contact information on them. Phone numbers and email addresses change and become outdated, but the person fails to update the header portion of their resume. THE AWFUL TRUTH is, failing to update your contact information and poor spelling make the candidate look lazy and unprofessional. The hiring manager is going to get a distinctly negative impression if the resume is filled with spelling errors or they can’t contact the person they are interested in. I know that some people are just not very good spellers, and for those of you that aren’t, find your nerdiest friend and have them proof read your resume before you send it anywhere. – Jennifer Bruton
