I just did a phone interview for someone whose resume was littered with small grammatical and spelling errors. It's too bad, because she was really pretty articulate, if only middling when it came to technical chops. But the lack of attention to detail in her resume was enough for me to take a hard pass on her; even if it wouldn't ever reflect on her code, it would very likely reflect on her diligence as an engineer and her technical documentation.
If your resume isn't grammatically perfect, I'm going to have serious reservations about you. If you can't take the time to proofread the living hell out of a one page document that's supposed to be a summary of your entire career and supposed to make me notice you, how am I supposed to expect you'll put in that attention when it matters for your job?
