I've just advertised a vacancy I have for a secretary and I'm getting applicants to send in their CV.
While the vast majority of CV's are well presented there have been a few which have spelling errors, shocking grammar and other errors. I would have thought that it was obvious to everyone that slapdash on a job application is pointless!
I'm replying to any like that saying, as politely as I can, that they fell at the 1st hurdle as we would require accuracy and that hopefully the feedback can assist them in the future. I've had it in the past with others and no doubt will in the future surely its not rocket science to either read through or get someone else to!
A couple of weeks ago I interviewed a young man that was interested in working for us and he turned up chewing gum and proceeded to do so through the entire interview.
On the plus side it means I don't waste my time calling them in and I suppose that they are not misrepresenting themselves but in these competitive times it astounds me.
