Learning and Living in the Online World

Let’s say you want to apply for a job. You’ve just typed a cover letter and updated your resume, and you’ve checked both of them for spelling and grammar errors. As far as you can tell, they look perfect.

Should you go ahead and email them to the company now?

Not yet! You should let somebody else proofread them before sending them out. A friend or family member can catch errors that you (and the spell check) may have missed.

The job market is tough. When applying to a job, chances are that you are one of many qualified applicants. No matter what kind of job you want, an employer looking at your application needs a quick and easy way to see evidence of your work. An online portfolio can be a great way to showcase the range of your skills in a format that will be easy for an employer to access.
