Another Grammar Tip - When to Use "All of" vs. Just "All"

Here is a simple tip to help you remember when to use the words "all of" or just the word "all" while writing descriptions on your resume.

Use "all of" ONLY before pronouns like "us," "them," or "it."  BUT use just "all" if it precedes a noun.

Examples:

Conducted training with all of the new personnel in the region. D (incorrect)

Conducted training with all new personnel in the region. C (correct - personnel is a noun)
