“Therefor” is an archaic alternate spelling for therefore. I wouldn’t have had a problem with that sentence.
What about the lack of an adjective preceding “attention to detail,” the use of a comma instead of a semicolon after “detail,” and the superfluous comma after the misspelled “therefore”?
An obsolete archaic spelling. In modern usage it means something completely different.
I’m really hoping that the applicant meant “D’oh!” and misspelled it, although a one-word jocular reply like that isn’t much more appropriate to a business exec who is hiring you.
Exactly. “Therefor” and “therefore” do not mean the same thing. Plus, why the heck would anyone be purposefully using archaic spellings in a normal resume?
Maybe they’re applying from the 18th century. Like in South Park where people from the future came back to the 2000s to find work.
This is my all-time favorite. Notice also in the bottom left that this was Fax page 1 of 1 - IOW, this was the resume in its entirety.
I’d rather hire that guy (assuming I could find him.) At least he can spell. Maybe I’d fax back an application - or maybe just a sheet of paper that said “good luck!”
“Detail” should be followed by a semicolon or a period.
I’m aware of this. I don’t think that particular construction is important unless you’re hiring a copy-editor, though.
It all depends on how illiterate you want people to think you are. 
Just wow. LOL.
I mean, if you’re looking for any reason to weed out 50 resumes from the pile of 55 you have, this isn’t the worst one. But if the guy was otherwise qualified and just made that mistake, I wouldn’t throw him out with the bathwater.
FWIW I’m completely on your side.
According to the letter, and you didn’t sneer at this point, you have an organization, and, presumably, want to hire people you consider to be “assets.” Do you have employees now? Are all of them “assets?” Are all of them assets because they never, even while typing, skip a final ‘e’ in a word? Or does unintentional irony in a letter or e-mail create a byproduct corrosive to the paint job on whatever you’re selling?
