so person with sloppy resume was a bad interview as I expected. A joke was made if I noticed errors on the next person's resume. I did. They butchered a month. "Well no one is perfect" said person who is no longer in charge of hiring. I get that. But again, these are not affect/effect errors. This is literally, you did not bother to run spellcheck on the document that is giving your first impression to employers. I'm not sitting there with a microscope trying to nitpick. It's literally that they are so obvious that they jump out. That person seemed ok but not my first choice. If this were a role where little details weren't a big deal, I'd let it fly. But this will be a role where noticing tiny differences could have a big impact.
I get another one today. Extremely slick, highly.......marketing-type resume. Little icons for contact info, stuff down the sides, clearly this person is trying to say they are hot ****. They give themselves a fancy title right under their name. AND THEY ******* MISSPELL IT! Literally right underneath their name is this glaring, big font mistake. Then they tell me how they are detail oriented and "attention to detail" is the first thing under their list of skills they gave me.
I feel like the old man yelling at clouds for wondering what is up with all these kids these days and not knowing what spellcheck is.
Say it.........darn millennials!!
