However, I do suffer from being unable to write a few sentences without any typos. That's why I edit about 90% of my posts after the fact. Still, they slip by. I also knowingly leave out commas sometimes even where they would be helpful. And use sentence fragments, even though I know it's not right.

I think my resume skills have gotten better over the past 10 years, but when I look back on some of my past resumes I'm horrified.

My dad was very successful in business, and he never wrote his own resume. My mom wrote them for him.
