Have a friend or professor proofread your r sum for errors. It is imperative that your r sum be completely free of mistakes. Carelessness in preparing the r sum may imply carelessness in other responsibilities. Most word processing programs used for writing r sum s include an option for checking spelling and grammar, but do not rely on it to catch all errors. When reproducing your r sum , select a good quality paper stock.
Some employers look favorably upon matching stationery and envelopes.
Remember that the readability of your r sum is of primary importance. Employers will look most favorably at r sum s duplicated at a professional copy center or printed on a laser or ink jet printer. Each copy of your r sum should be crisp, clean and sparkling, with no bent corners, ink smudges, paper imperfections, faint letters in the copy, blurs, marks, toner or ink streaks. Make sure the body of the r sum is centered on the page and nothing is crooked. If you have a two-page resume, do not staple or clip the two pages together.
