If I give a candidate a couple of days’ notice that I am going to call, I expect them to know what our firm does. Typos on resumes and cover letters? I only hire professionals, no entry level/no skills/no education workers. Every employee is expected to have good communication skills. If their resume is full of grammatical errors and typos, we aren’t interested. Our employees interact with our clients via email, memos, and reports. An incredible number of people are being graduated from United States colleges without a firm grasp of English — including U.S. born candidates. It’s quite pitiful.
