We know the job market is still tough and we know that some people don't feel like they have a friend in their corner. If you are struggling to find a job, we want to help by proofreading your resume for free. Our goal is to proofread at least 1,000 resumes for people who could use a hand. When we hit that goal, we'll see if we can keep going.
Our professional proofreaders will check resumes for:
- Grammar
- Spelling
- Formatting inconsistencies
- Word choice
- Sentence structure
Why are we doing this?
A better question might be this: Why don't more companies do things like this? We are in a privileged position and very much aware that many people helped us to get here. The least we can do is pay it forward by helping at least 1,000 people get on their feet.

If your resume isn’t getting you interviews, utilize this free resume review. This is focused on people who have been unemployed for an excessive amount of time. Take advantage of someone proofreading your resume.

I read this offer and thought, what a wonderful gesture to help those who are seeking employment.
I live in Canada and this approach has not been done.
Is there a possibility that you would proof-read my resume?
Thank you for reading this email and good luck to those you help.
Regards,
Annette

It posts more danger if you can only help people that are resident of United States of America and not other parts of the World. Please try to help people outside of Amercia as well.
