Whoever can type a resume of that length in a typewriter with no errors I would instantly hire. Such level of attention to detail is extremely rare these days.

  Sadly, communication and writing skills takes a backseat to algorithm interviews. I understand the company benefits massively from hyper-focusing on hard skills but quality of life suffers for your average IC mired by the daily failures of miscommunication.

  Most likely, someone with the initials "sd" typed out that resume rather than Ray Livesay

    Can confirm. The convention back then was that the typist puts their initials at the bottom of letters or memos.

  Back in the 80s I would type up a resume and make corrections with correction paper (big upgrade from liquid paper!). Then I would go to a print shop and have them make copies of it but on nice paper. The copies would not show any signs of the corrections. The same thing could have been done with the cover letter in this case, since only the date and addressee at the top would need to be changed for each company.
