Just wondering why it is that I can proofread a document five times and not catch the typos and crappy syntax until after I've printed it on good paper?  Stupid resume, I even read it out loud so I wouldn't skim over things, and thought it was okay.  Printed it on my expensive paper stock, and sure enough, the minute I was finished printing it, six errors hopped off the page, winking and taunting me.  Had to go back and fix them. At least it's done!  Woohoo! Kix

Ah yes, good ol' Murphy.... he shows up at my house all too often also. We recently did the same thing with business cards... and those things are expensive too!  I've heard that sometimes reading the document backwards help to proofread... but since you're done already, that doesn't help now. Glad it is done.. Best of luck in your job search!!!! Valerie
