First, if a Word Document goes into three pages, and you edit it back to just two, it will print out three pages, one of them blank, unless you go through some special steps I don’t even remember how to do. Blame Microsoft. (Thanks Rasa!)
Next- do you notice that large blank space there between the “…and ten other potential employers:” and “Then there’s people …”? That’s because you, like a complete moron, decided to get cute and put this "Quote:

Joys of a consulting firm. Our resume is required to be up-to-date at all times. Tell the boss that you’re working on your resume, he doesn’t mind in the least (unless he asks at 9 and you are still doing it at 5).
If I was posting my resume instead of a rant, then I might pay more attention. But since I doubt any of you are going to pay me for excellent spelling and grammar, I’m a bit less…concerned. I’m sorry.
Wow. There’s two of them little accenty thingies? That’s just unfair. I thought I was only ignoring one. It’s like they did that on purpose, just to mess people up. Please, everyone, forgive me for my transgression. I have shamed myself and my family.
Didn’t mean error-tracking…meant change tracking :smack: . Although, with error tracking, if you accept an error or add a word, it still shows up as an error on someone else’s computer. That’s just Microsoft knowing what’s best for you.
Man, this thread made me realize I will NOT get that job I applied to last night.
See, I don’t have MS Office on my PC, so as a result, when I make emails, I don’t have those fancy red or green lines telling me I made a mistake. Normally, I would copy and paste it into Open Office and spell check it there…but I forgot to last night. A sense of panic went through me as I opened this thread and I quickly went into my sent mail folder, copy and pasted, and BAM, two spellnig errors. I forgot an ‘e’ in advertisement, and my fingers just messed up and added a ‘w’ to aquisition.
:smack:
Well, I guess I’m not getting that job anytime soon. I’m really pissed, too, because it was one of the few jobs that I found that I am actually qualified to do.
I know you already caught the you’re part, but that its should be it’s.
At my old office, we actually marked up people’s letters and resumes with red pen and sent it back to them. It was fun for us and maybe it actually helped the applicant in the future.
I once submitted an application where I marked the box “NO” for the question “Are you legally eligible for employment in the United States?” No idea how I did that, but I bet they were wondering, “why are you applying then?”
See? If you’d just come out and tell the applicants the requisite physiological status required to work there, you could weed out all the Oxygen-converters that plague your inbox.
No, the show is not boring, but being the higher than average intelligent message board that we are, glaring errors tend to pop out at us. I feel the same way about “alright.” Grrrrr…
This may be a dumb question. But how many here are deaf? If you’re not deaf, is there a reason you’re actually spending time reading the CC? I’ve watched shows with CC on if I’m keeping cursory tabs on it, but if I’m paying close enough attention to the show to catch that, the sound is on.
CC errors are atrocious and have always been. I expect it to be so bad that I probably never would have noticed the Mexican/Spanish thing. For whatever reason, it seems that if you sit my Pugs down in front of a keyboard, they could piss on it and get better spelling produced. And the show would be much easier to follow as well.
