I received a resume that listed the following as experience. (The Bold for emphasis is my own)
Hi:
Some constructive comments on your resume.
You might want to change your first Job Listing.
Sincerely,
HR.
Her response to me was:
You were with the Broad of Education?
Her response?
"The word is BOARD, not BROAD. BROAD is a derogatory term for WOMAN."
I haven't heard from her yet.
The resume looked ok but she wasnt what I wanted. Regardless I felt it would help her if I told her about the typo but I didnt want to insult her so I hinted at the typo as follows:SKILLS:_** Computer:* Microsoft
Word, Power point, Excel, Outlook,
Database Systems,
Internet applications and QuickBooks
Other: *5+ years of
professional office experience
· Self Motivated
· Committed to performing quality work
· Strong initiative, Quick learner
*_EXPERIENCE: _** *_New York City-Broad of Education _

Her response to me was:
Seeing that my hints at her typo were not sufficient, I emailed her the following:Hi. I really don't think there is any problem with my first job
listing!!!
At least it is the honest (TRUTH!!!). How many applicants do you know
that can say that!!!
You were with the Broad of Education?
Her response?
Finally, I realized that it wasnt a typo. Just good old fashion Ignorance...My response:Yes! As stated on my resume. The reason why my employment ended there was due to the fact that the assignment was over. They hired alot of temps in the beginging of the school year, anticipating that the phones were going to be ringing off the hook with concerned parent about their children being picked up on time.
Once the children settled in, there was not need for that many reps to work the phones.
