Your friend would let HR scuttle you because of a spelling error? Sounds like a terrible manager or a terrible friend.

depressing that so many here are willing to overlook what should be a deal breaker every time. No candidate worth their salt is going to submit a resume with spelling errors.

A typo and "glaring spelling errors" are a bit different. And you'll lose lots of good people if that's your standard. But hey, I don't plan to apply to D anytime soon (and my resume is perfect, damn it!) so you do you.

Assuming a person is incompetent because of One misspelling is extreme. It does not reflect that the person is a chronically bad user of English in any way. As none of us, even you D1 are perfect

So he has a say in who gets selected... am I boned?

I agree. Careless mistake... not much hope, just wanted other perspectives.

Me.

He wants to hire me... I'm a really strong fit... but I think because of the typo, HR will toss it before it can get to him

So... then...?

I appreciate the feedback everyone! Upvotes for you all!
