The importance of proofreading

150 Funniest Resume Mistakes, Bloopers and Blunders Ever

Besides its funny bloopers, the article does stress the importance of first impression.  When you are fighting for that interview, first impression is what will make the difference.  It is said that employers spend, on average, 20 seconds to scan your resume.  Study shows, the average user reads about 200 - 250 wpm.  In other words, about 67 to 84 words in 20 seconds.  That is, roughly the length of this paragraph.

Therefore, write wisely and concisely.

Although proofreading mistakes are funny (when seen from the outside, looking in, of course), they can be absolutely disastrous. I worked for a mail order company and one proofreading error cost over £20,000 - we had to stop a printing press and re-engrave cyclinders. We can laugh about it now...
