Poor Katie was forced to sit through a typo-filled webinar. I think she deserves a raise for capturing one of the worst (and most ironic) mistakes and sending it to Apostrophe Catastrophes.
She hopes that the moderator is not the one doing resume reviews. Also, could that PowerPoint slide be any uglier? You need not take computer classes to produce better Powerpoint presentations.
While it isn't technically necessary, I prefer to include the accents in résumé so readers don't think I'm talking about starting something up again. If you want to resume working, send in your résumé.
Thanks, Katie!

OK, that just hurts.
Surely that should be 'accentuate' rather than 'accent' in the slide? Or has 'accent' become a verb without my noticing?
Good point! I do think "accent" has become a verb, tub "accentuate" is probably a better choice here.
Reminds me of the résumé I received in which a woman told of her excellent proffing skills.
This slide is just terrible on so many levels.
In addition to issues already mentioned, I submit these:
Bulleted items should not have end punctuation when they're only one sentence/phrase.
The Department of Redundancy Department was pleased when tend was used twice in one bullet point.
I'm a fan of the Oxford or serial comma, so it's disturbing that it's missing.
Poor Katie, indeed. I hope this didn't hinder her ability to apply for jobs in the future! LOL!!! :D
Help. I'm drowning in irony.
Job interviews are appeared to be a mystery for many applicants. However, you don’t need to be nervous when going for an interview. You can thrive if you just adopt the right rules and guidelines for your job interview. Remember that you will always be required a number of resumes when looking for a job. In order to have better opportunities for an interview, all resumes must target the career objectives you want. cover letter sample
It seems to me that mistakes and typos are the first things all people pay attention to when they read the applicant's resume. Therefore it is very important to check the right spelling if you don't want to fly out of the competition at the first stage. I know for sure I spend millions of hours writing a resume and then it becomes difficult for me to perceive mistakes, so I prefer to give this work to professionals like best resume writing service 2018, because I also know they're the best in the field. So if you're not sure in your resume, let them work for you!
