Every day, I receive a resume with typographical errors. The record was 6 typos in one resume !
According to a recent Office Team survey, 84% of executives polled said it takes just one or two typographical errors in a resume to remove a candidate from a job opening.Ă‚Â Of those surveyed, 47% said a single typo can be a deciding factor and 37% said they’d axe someone from consideration after two typos.
Ă‚Â Candidates who submit applications materials with typographical errors may be seen as lacking professionalism and attention to detail and thus spoil their chances for further consideration.
Ă‚Â And, remember, spell check isn’t 100% accurate. ALWAYS have at least two other people review your resume for grammatical and typographical errors before sending it out !
