    I had one once where disappointing was spelt 'dissapoining'.

    It was indeed disappointing that this oik had a job, when I did not.

    "You must bring with you a photograph of yourself which is passport sized which we will retain."

    Just as a digression: Who in world writes these emails and posts on the CS Jobs website?
    It's is utterly ridiculous to think that someone like that selects and marks applications and competencies!
    They should be the ones reapplying for these jobs. I'm sure they wouldn't even go past the online test!

    Does spelling and grammar affect your competency scoring? I suspect it probably doesn't in any overt way. 'Progressed' is all right to use, even though 'processed' might sound better. The second line is a silly mistake to make, and the third line only really needs a comma before the second 'which.'

    I was most annoyed by the instruction on the application to describe skills and experience relating to each competence. That is an utterly awful use of language. Someone of note is probably scratching their heads somewhere, wondering why so many applicants were overly descriptive in their competencies. D'oh! :p

    Progressed' is all right to use,

    Ermm..... should be "will progress" not "progressed".. ;)

    Wow, I just logged into my own page and noticed that. I thought QuoVadis had typed that out without cut and paste. I've been reading it as "will be progressed" since I applied. Funny how the brain fills that out.

    It really does say that! Bloomin' eck.
