This is what happens when I stare at a computer all day! I spent all day yesterday completely revamping my resume. I chucked the old chronological one and went with a chrono-functional hybrid. I am looking to change careers and that's the recommended style for doing such. I actually spent the better part of 2 weeks researching resumes online, putting together my list of applicable skills and then categorizing them and researching the company and positions I am applying for. Finally, I decided I was ready to apply at my dream company. They have several positions open, some of which pay twice what I am making now, that I believe I am qualified for. I read and re-read the resume several times, making small adjustments each time. Then, having decided I was happy with it, sent in my online applications with my newly revamped resume.
Then, this morning, I glanced at a hard copy I had set aside last night and noticed a typo. Right in the third line. I typed tem instead of team. How did I miss this on the 150 read throughs!
Once your resume is posted it won't allow you to make changes either. So much for my dream job.
