Every recruiter is also different. Every time someone gives suggestions on how to write a resume or apply for a job or things you should do, the advice can be contradicted by someone else in the same position at another company.
Hell, even spelling mistakes! I've known people who don't care (they are bad spellers themselves).
So, while I appreciate the goal, every recruiter is different. The best thing I can suggest is that when you apply, however you do it, do it the way you want. Make it represent you. Changing your style might get you the job if you match the expectations of the recruiter, but it might not be the type of job you want.
- Tyrannosaurs 13y agoI'm really only critical of spelling mistakes for anyone who, in the document containing the mistakes, claims to have good attention to detail. Essentially it's a job rejections on the grounds of irony.
- PakG1 13y agoHell, even spelling mistakes! I've known people who don't care (they are bad spellers themselves). Well... but it's never bad advice to try to submit perfect spelling. And it can be bad advice to not care about spelling. It's like the spelling version of Pascal's Wager.
- jasonlotito 13y agoYou'd think that, until you meet that individual who insists a commonly misspelled word is spelled incorrectly despite being spelled correctly. =)
- PakG1 13y agoInteresting, never came across this, and never contemplated it. I suppose I'd just throw them a dictionary URL, but do it politely. The worst-case is that they refuse to change their mind. That'd be a signal to me that I don't want to deal with this person. One of my top bad sign signals is when someone isn't willing to change their position when proven wrong. Correlated with many, many bad things.
