Cara had been over her resume again and again. She was sure it was right. The night before the interview, she printed out a few copies to take with her. She looked this version so it would be fresh in her mind. Suddenly she noticed that she had made two errors! She had misspelled the company name with an ie rather than an ei, and she had used too instead of to. She quickly fixed both mistakes and was thankful that, despite the errors, she was still getting an interview. She would give the interviewer and any new jobs leads the new version of her resume and hopefully get a job.

How could Cara have avoided the error?

It is always advisable to read any critical document atleast a multiple times before finalizing it. In the given case, it appears that Cara didn't go through the resume before taking the printout. Based on the type of software (such as Ms Word), Cara has used in preparing the resume, she could have used the in-built spelling and grammar check feature which automatically highlights the spelling errors in the document. With the use of this feature, Cara could have easily seen the errors and corrected them before taking the print out.

Second option would be to use spell and grammer check tools available on internet.. These tools perform automatic checks for spelling and grammatical errors once the document has been uploaded on the relevant platform. Cara can analyze the changes recommended by the tool and make relevant corrections accordingly.

A review of resume by a family member or friend is another alternative available to Cara. A family member/friend can perform a check of the details provided by Cara in her resume. Independent review by another person can help in identifying potential mistakes in the resume and highlight the same to Cara.
