Why resume grammar is different

Resume writing has its own grammatical conventions that differ from standard business writing. Generic grammar tools often flag correct resume style as errors — or miss actual resume-specific mistakes.

Sentence fragments are correct

Bullet points on a resume intentionally omit subject pronouns. 'Managed a team of 12' is correct. A generic checker may flag this.

Tense consistency matters

Current roles use present tense; past roles use past tense. This rule must be applied consistently across every bullet.

Parallel structure in bullets

Every bullet under a role should start with the same grammatical form — typically a strong action verb in the same tense.

Avoiding first-person pronouns

Resumes should never use 'I', 'my', or 'we'. Our checker specifically catches these common errors.

Hyphenation rules

Compound modifiers need correct hyphenation: 'cross-functional team' not 'crossfunctional team'. Easy to miss, signals attention to detail.

Number formatting

Consistency in how you write numbers (spell out 1–9, use numerals for 10+) signals professionalism and polish.
