The word count feature on my word processor says my resume is one length, but GAO Careers says its much longer. Whats going on?
The 16,000 character limit in GAO Careers includes spaces in the count. Most popular word processing packages (Word, WordPerfect, etc.) give a character count based on only non-space characters, which accounts for the difference in counting. Because spaces count against the 16,000-character limit you should format your resume so that any extraneous spaces are eliminated.
