Dear Savvy,
My problem is not exactly related to my résumé, but I am having problems when it comes to my cover letter. I don't know what it should include or how to correctly send one. So what should a cover letter include?
Résumé Tip: Print It Before You Hit Send
During a past job search, a recruiter added her company name as my résumé's header. When viewed in Word the header was hidden, but as a printed page her name was there in bold, leaving me susceptible to making a serious mistake when applying for jobs outside the efforts of my recruiter.
Employers often print out résumés even if it was sent through email, especially if you're scheduled to interview.
Résumé Tip: Read It Out Loud
One of the common problems I've observed among several résumés in my Résumé Remedy group is the improper use of tenses. It may seem obvious to use the present tense when detailing a current job, but résumé writers are constantly using the past tense or seem to misunderstand how to properly use tenses in general.
You don't need your own professional editor on call to clean up your tense issues — instead, read your résumé out loud so you know what it sounds like to the employer who will be reading it.
