One time I got a rejection letter from a company that included a list of reasons that people are usually rejected. One of the reasons was spelling or grammar errors in their cover letter or resume.
As it happened, this letter that they sent out contained both a spelling error and a grammatical error. In retrospect, this was perhaps a little too snarky, but I wrote back to them and pointed this out. They contacted me again, asking if I would be interested in another position they had available.

- joe_the_user 16y agoWell, At least such a letter would alert the candidate to those errors, information that would be useful for future application.
- shasta 16y agoDid they happen to mention that the position had become available as a result of your email?
