Sorry but just felt the need to rant. I am doing all the recruitment for a company at the moment and they are looking for a admin assistant at the moment.
Of all the cv's I have recieved about 75% have really obvious spelling and punctuation errors. Obviously as this is a role that includes drafting letters and emails to outbound clients the temptation is just to throw these cv's straight in the bin. If I was the end employer I certainly would!
Please Puhleeaase anyone here that is doing a cv type it, print it, READ IT! Then get someone else to proof read it as well!!!
I am not putting my hand up as someone with exceptional grammar, in fact I get my office manager to proof any bulk mailing I send out.
