I can't believe people who think it's correct to write "CV's" are in the position to give the thumbs down ! Oh well, rejected by an illiterate, can't be so bad.

Mis-spelling (if you can't be bothered to use spellcheck, it's not great)

Does your spellchecker discrimminate between US and UK candidates?

When my advert says 'chainsaw licence essential', if you don't say you have one on your CV, you will be binned. Annoying as poor grammar and spelling is to me, it's not relevant for the job generally. Looking for the right experience and interest.

Obviously, this is at the opposite end to £100k financial controller and we're not as picky over the same things.

Nobody ever types something on this forum that isn't absolutely, gramatically correct--so I stand appropriately chastised.

Good thought--there are obviously words that are spelled differently in the US and the UK, wonder how spellchecker deals with that
