Resolved: Journo Resumes Should Be Journalistically Consistent (That Means AP Style)
From Joe Grimm’s JobsPage blog:
“Time and again, people claim on their resumes that they know AP Style, but they do not follow it.”

- State abbreviations.
- Capitalization.
- Numbers.
- Punctuation: Colons introduce, dashes separate and hyphens join. But on a resume, people seem to run out of typographical devices and use these in all kinds of new and inventive ways.
