- Spelling and grammar errors
- Inconsistent tenses in bullet points
- Run-on or incomplete sentences that don't make sense
- Excessive corporate jargon
- Inconsistent or sloppy formatting
- Review it later. If you wrote the entire description, then close it and come back to it later when you have a fresh set of eyes.
- Review it with different goals. Use the common errors above as an example. Proof-read your description five times and, each time, search for a different type of error.
- Get somebody else involved. Sometimes, no matter how fresh, your eyes just won't catch errors and your mind will always make sense of the convoluted sentence you wrote. Ask somebody else, preferably somebody detail-oriented and not connected with this particular role, to proof-read as well.
