Im also interviewing with Zillow and am deciding wether to wait or take an offer. I’m really intrigued by the idea of building ventures and learning alot on the technical and entrepreneurial sides, but the opportunity to work for a tech unicorn is also very intriguing

I just now remembered I got my first job with someone who showed me I had 2 (!!!!!!!!!) errors on my cover letter. But the guy said it was the funniest cover letter he'd ever read, so he hired me.
There's no point in bringing it up during the interview. Since by interviewing them it's already been acknowledged that this is not a serious issue. However, after the interview, take off your interviewing hat and tell them that as a concerned, fellow human that they need to do more error checking. I'm a finance professional. Accountants are just not good at English sometimes and it's not a requirement. So it's unlikely that I would ever consider a typo a deal breaker. Think about the position they will be working in and whether or not you'd be able to put up with the same types of mistakes that they made in their resume.
Yes, but get ready to talk about those game changing ideas first.
That's an immediate no interview for me. I have brought them up but as an FYI, not to guilt.
Yes, but in a way like "just wanted to point his out to you so you have a chance to correct it before sending out anymore".
No, that's low. Think about what you'd like to be asked. Conducting an interview is a no small responsibility. (I always notice spelling mistakes and it irks me too, but No)
sure, if you want to watch a grown human squirm and get uncomfortable.
You're not settling. I'd bring up the spelling mistakes internally when deciding to hire or not. This is not about handling discomfort, this is you being out to embarrass someone and very unkind.
Lol, y'all never made a spelling mistake before??!! I had a typo in my last resume. It was a present tense that should have been past and spell check didn't catch it. I got called out on it in my interview, explained that I'm a human and while it wasn't intentional, I'm also not going to promise that I'll never ever make a typo again and if you're looking for a person who will never ever make any mistakes, than I'm not the person for this job. ...I got the offer on the spot so everyone chill because we aren't robots, human error is normal.
Why even interview them if your intention is to point out a weakness? If this is a deal breaker, they should have already been screened out. IMO, when you lead an interview, you should be consciously setting the person up to deliver their best performance (so you can see what that looks like.) Petty shots like calling out spelling errors is nothing more than a cheap power play that will probably put them on the defensive and lead them to take you out of their consideration set.
Damn I wouldn't even see them if there was
For me it's more about how they handle the discomfort and explain their way out. Key skill on the job. Also, why settle for mediocrity?
Sorry that is probably Junior Copywriter's resume... overlook the mistakes to see the game changing ideas.
Yes
Yes
If it is something that will make you not hire them (which is valid, in my opinion) don't bother taking them in for an interview. It wouldn't be totally out of line, though, to let them know why as a tip as they reach out to other places and wish them the best of luck. They'll probably be offended but you'll be helping them and they'll get that eventually.
Yes.
@Digitas3 a resume is one sheet of paper that is the single most visible piece of yourself in reaching out for a job. If you can't be bothered to look it over 10-20 times and get outside feedback to the point where a typo would be impossible, it makes one seriously doubt how serious you are. A typo isn't a big deal. Everyone makes them. A typo on a resume says something deeper about character and drive.
Have you met them yet? Maybe there is a language barrier... just a thought to consider.
