Résumé - Proofreading and Editing

WordsRU offer a résumé proofreading and editing service with professional, online editors.

The most important thing to keep in mind when preparing a résumé is a positive attitude and the objective — the job for which you are about to apply. It is vital that you know as much as possible about the employer, the profession or industry and the position you are about to apply for before preparing your cover letter and resume or curriculum vitae. You should also have a very clear picture in your mind of the strengths and specific skills you will bring to the position and those that will have the greatest relevance to your potential employer.

"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it."
— Sir Winston Churchill

 

 

WordsRU’s professional editors and proofreaders have many years of experience in writing, rewriting and editing CVs and résumés. They know the importance of presenting your strengths, skills and previous successes in an appropriate and effective way. They also understand the importance of addressing the respective selection criteria and/or position description and duty statement, and then matching your skills and experience to the specific requirements as detailed by the prospective employer — for example:

 

  • Tailor your cover letter and CV / resume / résumé to the position.

  • Make sure you are clear about the nature of the position and the strengths as well as experience and skills that you will bring to it.

  • Study the position description and understand it thoroughly. If you do not, contact the employer’s recruitment contact and obtain further information.

  • Respond to each of the key elements in the selection criteria or position description.

  • Match your specific skills, experience and education to the selection criteria.

  • Put yourself in the place of the employer and try to imagine what questions or further information might be required.

  • Be clear in your own mind as to the greatest contribution you will make to the position being advertised.

  • Use bulleting to accentuate major points and make sure the employer’s attention is drawn to those areas where you fit the bill exactly, and are the ideal candidate.

  • Use active rather than passive voice in presenting your achievements.

  • If possible, keep your document to a single page, no more than two.

  • If academic qualifications are a prerequisite, show them early in the document, not tucked away as an afterthought.

  • Similarly, if a successful track record is the prerequisite, make sure yours is boxed at the top of your CV or resume.

And above all, make sure you have your résumé or CV edited for nothing will undo your careful preparation as effectively as a spelling error or incorrect grammar. WordsRU’s online editorial service offers grammar checking and punctuation help as well as a check to correct spelling and typographical errors. Our professional editors will look after the layout, writing, and structuring of your résumé or CV to ensure that it offers the best possible profile of you — your qualifications, skills and experience — to your prospective employer.
