: Give your resume a final review!

Before submitting your resume, take a few minutes to review it with fresh eyes. Read it aloud to catch awkward phrasing, check for spelling and grammar errors, and make sure your skills and experience are easy to understand. Ask a friend, mentor, or trusted colleague to review it, too. A second set of eyes can catch things you might miss!

A polished resume helps you put your best foot forward.
