Cretins. I refuse to employ anyone that has even one typo on their CV.

I do know that my son and his little chums are told in school that presentation and spelling are not important enough to affect the marks they receive! Nothing like an incentive to improve standards, eh?

Oh, and have a click for surviving.

I applaud you
As an employer, you are absolutely correct to disregard CVs with mistakes.

Not only is lack of spelling ability a sign of stupidity from someone who should know better - but even if it's just a simple typo (like "teh" or something), that just means the person doesn't care enough about attention to detail, and didn't bother to proof-read the CV before sending it.

Best mistake I've seen on a CV
is "I'm a good worker with great attention to detail, a good work-ethic, a can-do attitude and great attention to detail"

Or indeed to have spell-checked the damned thing
