    True story (no really): where I'm working the other day the manager got a letter from a recruitment consultant introducing a candidate which said "he is very interested in joking with you".

    Automatic spelling correction strikes again. Doh!

    My CV is littered with speeling mistooks. It is quite deliberate: I really don't want to work with someone so anally retentive as to use it as a selection criteria, life is way too short.

    you are possibly the saddest twat i have ever known.

    its bad enough, that we post on here and enjoy it. its sad enough as it is.

    but you maange to go even lower, you dont even post anything funny or annoying, but you just choose to spend your time actually just enjoying to edit posts.

    what a complete loser.

    The position is for a senior Java developer, Fixed Income, Spring and Hibernate. The CV looked like it had been knocked up in 5 minutes. Hibernate was spelt as Hybernate. How can someone put it on their CV and claim to be an expert - it's a blatant lie! I don't mind a bit of bending here n there but this is taking the piss. The unsurprising thing is the agent didn't spot it!

    What was the mistake?
