The problem we have when we've been working hard on something is that we start to see not what's actually there, but what we intended to write.
There's a couple of ways to ferret out those mistakes you can't see. First, read your resume out loud. You'll be amazed what your tongue finds that your eyes didn't.
Second, put the resume aside for a few days. Even a couple of hours will work if you're tight for time. Looking at it again after doing something different will help you remember other accomplishments and finding other wording. If you're really tight for time, try a couple of minutes under the shower. We don't know why it works, but it does.
We'll be back next week with more practical guidance. If you want to move more quickly, you can find all the follow-up emails here.
