If you are thinking of applying for the job of web content editor, then here are some things you should do. Firstly, focus on polishing your resume to the best you can. Resume is, after all, just another type of written work and prospective employers will definitely use it to judge both your writing and editing skills.

If they notice any mistake in your resume, that would reflect badly on you. If you hadn’t taken enough time and care to correct your work and perfect it, how can they expect you to do better with works that are not your own?

Your resume should of course be accompanied with a cover letter. Your cover letter must not be more than five short paragraphs and it should provide a quick summary of what is written within your resume as well as include any vital information that could not be included in your resume. Don’t forget to address it to a specific recipient.
