The Project Management CV – Grammar and Spelling

Following on from the post last week about “ how NOT to differentiate yourself in the PM marketplace ” in this post we are going to look at some common problems with a project management CV when it comes to spelling and grammar. Let’s get to it. First make sure your spell checker is set to English (U.K) and not English (U.S). This should make sure that words like specialization, organization etc don’t appear in your CV. Secondly, don’t rely on the spell-checker! It won’t necessarily pick up all spelling mistakes (someone may have inadvertently added them to the dictionary) and it won’t always pick up the grammar mistakes (for instance it didn’t highlight that I had used “then” when I should have used “than” in my last post ). So read and re-read your ‘finished’ document. It’s amazing how the brain will insert missing words and correct spelling mistakes for you, especially when you know what the document should say.
