Don't Forget To Spell Check Resumes

One of the funniest resume titles we've seen here at CA Jobs List was an email to us saying "Looking for a fool time job." It seems like common sense to spell check, but about 1 in 3 resumes have spelling or grammatical errors.

It's one thing to mess up in a blog post. It will happen here quite often. But to blow your chance with a potential employer simply because you didn't read over your resume and email is a shame. Especially now that the job market is so rough, you need to give yourself every opportunity to land that job in California that you are looking for.

If you need to spell check something, just type in "spell check" in your favorite search engine and use the one that you like the best. I use Orangoo, but there are a bunch out there. Orangoo is only able to spell checks documents and does not check for grammatical errors.... like "fool time job" which would not be caught by a spell checker alone.  Be sure to proof read your stuff!
