A lot of the times when we write, we forget to check our work for certain errors.The other day, my husband needed to forward an email to people at his work. In the subject line, he wanted to type "FYI," meaning "For Your Information", but the auto-correct on his phone changed it to "I'm dying." If he didn't check his work before sending the email, a lot of people at work would be a bit shocked to receive this email. Luckily he checked his work before sending!
Writing errors can ruin your credibility, reputation and can make people question, what else are you getting wrong? Did you put that much effort in your work? All too often they also create embarrassment!
There are four main areas to check for in your work before you submit. The acronym is COPS (Capitalization, Order & Organization, Punctuation, and Spelling). Print this out and always remember to check your work with the COPS before sending any resumes, papers and emails!
