It's All in the Details

Technical recruiters will often hire people who will be writing, testing or reviewing code - which requires a certain level of methodical thinking and attention to detail.

Your resume is often the first time a recruiter or hiring manager is getting to learn about you. If a resume has typos, it makes me wonder... If that person can't manage their own personal details, how are they going to manage lines and lines of code?

In this competitive market, everything matters. When you've finished your resume - spell check it - then have at least two of your friends who are spelling fanatics go over it for you as well.

It may seem like a nit picky thing - but as they say - it's all in the details.
