resumes & my learning process

I have lately been looking for a different job, like a lot of people. Because I spent 5 years at the same job, I have not had to send out many resumes. Doing a resume for some people maybe easy, but for me, it has been an adventure and many lessons learned. The first resume I sent out, had miss spellings and font that was not the same boldness. Woops! The next version had good spelling, but had the wrong name of the contact person because I had several different versions of my resume open at the same time. How could I have done that??? Next, even though I thought I had reviewed it well, I ended up have the wrong objective at the top, but the spelling and contact person was correct. On the last resume I sent out, I decided that I would use a fax machine. Since I thought it would be more reliable than e-mail and faster than the mail. But... instead of making a cover sheet on the computer, I wrote on a sheet of paper, what I thought was good hand writing. Before making the mistake again, someone mentioned to me that I could make a cover sheet on the computer instead of having to worry about trying to make my awful handwriting decent. Why did I not think of that???
Some people may read this and wonder why I was so slow in figuring out what sounded like simple things. Well, I guess I was in a hurry because I wanted to get as many sent out as possible, and because I was desperate in finding a different job. Therefor, I did not slow down enough to think through what might look good to potential employers.
Even though I made these mistakes with my resume, I have learned to slow down, not be desperate and fix the mistakes made so they are not made again.
I am proud to say that my resume looks perfect. All spelling is correct, objectives are looked at twice or three times as are the contact persons information, and I have a fax cover sheet typed and ready to be used.
As of lately, I have not found a job that fits my credentials; when I do, I will be ready with a cover letter, resume, and ,if need be, a fax sheet ready to impress. The process I am working though in the area of job hunting, has stretched me to a better person. Also, there have been lessons learned.
