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.
