Can careless cover letter errors mess up a job search?
Typographical errors and grammar mistakes can be what’s keeping you from success. Carefully scrutinize your cover letter and resume with a critical eye, and even consider enlisting the help of an extra person. Often, the source of no calls can be errors in job search documents. Most employers discover an error in a resume or a cover letter and it is an instant turnoff. Then, those documents that you spent hours carefully working on often end up in the trash and all efforts have been wasted. Most employers do not want to hire someone who cannot spell or has poor grammar. One big tip: don’t rely on spell-check to save you, as it is not fool-proof. Proofreading is the only way to catch errors!
