Quick Answer

Before sending, check your resume for spelling, grammar, consistency (tenses, formatting, abbreviations), and completeness. Have someone else review it. HIRIO-AI automatically checks for over 50 common errors.

You've spent hours perfecting your resume. It would be a shame if a small error ruined everything. With this checklist, you ensure your CV is error-free and professional before clicking "Send."

Why Proofreading Matters
