Ugh. Is it rude to mark a person's resume, correcting the spelling, formatting, and grammatical errors? I'd love to grade some of these for an English class.
We have three really horrid resumes in our 'for review' pile...seeing as these are programmers, I'd like to think that they could run it through a spell-check or something. I'm tempted to grade them, and put red marks over the errors, so that they could find a gig somewhere else without the embarrassment. It's not like English is a second language for them, either. (Those seem to come in formatted correctly... even if it's the same ol' Microsoft word 'resume wizard' style.) Maybe they had someone type the sheets up, and not proof 'em?
