A spell checker can be a valuable tool when you're proofreading your resume, but it's a mistake to rely on it completely. After all, one little error can ruin your chance of being considered for a job you really want. If you use the wrong word but spell it correctly, the spell checker doesn't help. Take this quiz from The Pongo Blog to see if you can catch the errors a spell checker would miss. (By the way, Pongo's ResumeBUILDER includes a spell check button for each section of your resume.)

You interviewed well and got the job offer, but you haven't officially accepted it yet. In fact, the offer doesn't give you everything you were looking for. The time between receiving and accepting an offer is a one-time window of opportunity. Don't be afraid to go back to the employer and negotiate some of the terms. Find out how to negotiate with confidence in Pongo's Learning Center.
