And another word of advice..... check, check and double-check everything you write when sending out resumes and covering letters.

This morning I sent my resume and covering letter off via email to the company I am interested in working for. But the email I wrote to attach these important documents was, I thought, sent to the general admin office - and I know the girls there. I tweaked the email itself to make sure it was perfect.

Unfortunately, I tweaked it so much that I deleted a word and just didn't see that it had 'disappeared' until I got a confirmation email from the person in charge of the job applications who wrote to thank me for my application and to say that once all applications were in we'd hear in July regards interviews. She'd written to me by replying to my own email - so that's how I know I made the error.

I had written the words "... I attach my covering and resume...." I'd missed out the word 'letter'!!! How could I have been so blind as not to see that? I know it's easy to do when you've written something so many times and improved upon it so often that when reading back the wording to check, your brain 'sees' the word that should be there even though it isn't!!

I could kick myself - particularly as I am the first to point the finger at sloppiness like that! Plus - in my resume I had written that I 'Pay great attention to detail...' Oh the shame!!!!

That's a great tip, I don't like reading over things that I write, sometimes I do and I still don't see the error, I guess because I write it myself. But I do shudder at some of the stupid mistakes I make.

I think that the interview is so much more important than the resume, but of course if you don't make a good one they will never call you to make your big entrance in the interview day

Well answering the last line, you have to be well experienced or well, have a good idea about the job and what to do. You have to stand out which means you have to study, work hard impress whoever's choosing. That's my advice. I don't have a job yet but that's a good guess.
