Some simple mistakes not mentioned here. Spelling or grammer mistakes are not acceptable as MS Word itself can do it for you and still, you are careless to check that too. Another one - your company name is wrong!! Common mistake where candidate's resume is thrashed.

It's grammar, not grammer. Thrashed has multiple meanings, the most common being to be beaten to a pulp. It could also mean flailing or moving in uncontrolled, convulsive fashion. It never means "trashed". That word means consigned to a trash bin, and is the word you were looking for. It isn't exactly appropriate for formal writing, but is fine in colloquial usage. Physician, heal thyself :)

Thanks for correcting my mistakes too. Language doesnt neet to be 100% correct but it should convey message - I think it was clear here - isnt it? Every occassion has different meaning and different treatment needed. You can attend friend's marriage in jeans but corporate meeting with blazer. Similarly, such checks are needed for resume and not for regular discussion forum. If you are preparing resume in MS-Word amd MS-Word must have already highlighted issues, how the person might have ignored them? The person must be careless before he submits such resume to HR of any company - and that makes him unsuitable for important jobs - yes, if he is applying for non-productive jobs or where language is not a problem, resume is still fine with all such errors.

I would never wear jeans to a wedding, friend or otherwise. It's disrespectful for the same reason wearing jeans at a board meeting is (unless it's Levi Strauss's board). To return to your point, fine, someone who doesn't pay attention to grammar and syntax on an online forum may not necessarily carry the same lack of attention to detail over to his/her work. However, someone who is attentive about such things will almost surely be attentive to detail in his/her work. That's why language, spoken or written, should be as close to 100% as humanly possible; whether you like it or not, you are judged first on your appearance (clothes, hair, gait, deportment, and so forth), and next on your language skills. Its unlikely that a person whose written language has errors can speak without making grammatical errors -- after all, you have more time when you write. This is not to suggest that perfection is possible. Your aim must always be 100% correct language, regardless of setting. It becomes a habit.
BTW, your current post has multiple errors in grammar, sentence construction, and semantics. It's interesting that you believe that your level of proficiency at English is sufficient, and anything more is overkill, whereas anything less is substandard. MS Word, as I have noted before, cannot correct semantics or grammatical errors, and will show up in your resume.
My browser highlights spelling mistakes. I use Google Chrome, and I know Firefox does the same. If yours doesn't, upgrade.

Who is other person to write about you? Most esteemed organizations throw the resume written by professional organizations... Reason: If you can not write about yourselves and need other's help, what else you can do.

You are a dkhead who has no idea of how the corporate world works. That was the most retarded thing I have ever read in my life.
With mounting unemployment and unprecedented supply of resumes, HR managers are finding it increasingly hard to segment the skills.
Did you know that a hiring manager in US spends an average of 30 seconds per resume before making a decision of whether or not to proceed with the candidate?
Ever wondered why? Its cuz of the abundance of resumes out there today. Headhunters are pushing in more resumes than ever.
And that is why the first-level resume screening is NOT done by human filtering. Its done by computer algorithms that match the RESUME KEYWORDS against the JOB SKILL REQUIREMENT.
The candidate with maximum matches gets prioritized over other resumes, after which the manager takes a look at the resume.
And if you think you can have your resume at the top filter search without having the RIGHT INDUSTRY KEYWORDS in your resumes - which only certified professional resume writers are well versed with - then you are in fairyland pal.
A professional resume is a MUST. A resume is for life.

Harris - no need to explain me what is corporate world - I am part of it from more than 15 years (and multiple companies in 15 years) and its my and my team's regular job. And any of my coullegue also or whomever I know - just throw away these resumes. We never call for those candidates who can not write for themselves - they can never write anything for the project they work. So, good luck to you running your company but your people will only be able to make in small companies - never in big corporates.
