4.Proofread.
The final step in any and all resume edits should be to proofread your resume multiple times. If you do not feel comfortable proofreading your own resume, ask a friend or family member to help. Not proofreading can lead to mistakes in your contact information, your dates of employment, or education thus leading to being passed over.
3.Take a look at your extra stuff.
Did you include any of your accolades on your resume? If so, ask yourself what is the purpose of including them? Do they directly relate to your candidacy or job?
If not, consider removing them. Being employee of the month in 1998 isn’t relevant in 2019, and can make the manager think “why haven’t they received it again?” You’re also no longer required to put references directly on your resume. It is a good idea to store that information, but you don’t have to include it on your next resume.
