Well, it's not as if spelling is my life calling....

But if you can't take the time to at least check it, on a document that could potentially make or break your career, why should I believe that you would pay any attention to detail anywhere else?

Yes, It's a nit. Maybe I'm just pissed over losing my pilot slot in the AF thanks to being farsight 20/30 in my left eye... Overall vision: 20/10. But it was enough of a nit for the AF to pas me over.

I've got enough resumes hitting my desk now a days, that if they aren't exceptional, they rarely get looked at again. And if I note something I KNOW is wrong, it's trash.

The resume game isn't Usenet, or the WWW where spellings are at best... original. I'm surprised by the number of applicants I get that don't understand that.
