This is what makes me laugh about job adverts

It was an advert by the employer. Adverts in newspapers are different.It may not be the employer depending on where the advert was. Our playgroup once advertised in local paper for a Play Worker but they put in as a Ply worker!

To be honest I don't really care if there are grammar or spelling mistakes in a job advert. Nobodies perfect. (Especially not me)
What I hate are the adverts that are written by someone in HR who asks for five years experience in a technology that has only been around for two years. Or those lists of requirements where to fulfill it you'd have to be a hundred and fifty.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Do you really think someone would get to interview stage with spelling mistakes on their CV or cover letter? I really think not and the line attention to detail which they do not have.To be honest I don't really care if there are grammar or spelling mistakes in a job advert. Nobodies perfect.

Yeah, I absolutely DO think that people get to interview stage with spelling mistakes on their CV. Maybe not for a proofreader job, though.
I've had three interviews from a CV where I spelled the first section header wrong:D When one kind interviewer pointed it out I changed it.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Dyslexia is a funny old thing, AP.
Attention to detail is good, BUT normally people employ others that can solve their problems. Proving that you can solve their problems is more important than proving you can spell correctly.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Its not about spelling its about (again) attention to detail as they do not want mistakes made if you can not tell the difference between certain things like numbers and letters.We’ve had to remove your signature.

No I meant to spell that with a spelling mistake so I can be just like the company who advertised the job. You all think IT'S ok to do so just doing the same! :rotfl:KevInChester wrote: »Spelled is a perfectly fine spelling.
