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.

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!Last edited by marvin_esquire; 31 May 2006, 15:27.
