Quick Resume Thought

Good morning! I am sitting in my office right now going through a bunch of resumes submitted via email. I just deleted one because the candidate incorrectly named his graduate school three times!! Has anyone ever heard of the 'Jersy Institute of Technology' in Newark, NJ? An MSEE from NJIT (The New Jersey Institute of Technology) certainly is a challenging degree to obtain. This candidate tossed away its value by not taking the time to learn his school's proper name. If this happened only once out of three attempts I would give him the benefit of doubt but not when he consistently demonstrated that a problem might exist. There are lots of new grads out there today, please do not throw yourself to the bottom of the pile!!!!
