After you finish writing your resume – and before you send it out – have another person review it for content, appearance, and accuracy:

Is the overall content of the resume on target?

• Will the content catch an employer's interest? 
• Are your key skills and strengths highlighted? 
• Is it an overall representation of your qualities?

Is the resume attractive and easy to read?

• Does the resume look attractive? 
• Are keywords and phrases easy to identify? 
• Will it be easy to read by a scanning system?

Is the resume complete and accurate?

• Is the resume free from grammar, spelling, and typing errors? 
• Is it complete (all dates, contact information, etc. provided)?
