I completely agree with you, but spellcheckers will catch
this "feilds Im"
and this "fundimentals".
The spelling errors are aside from the incorrect hominyms
and plain poor writing. I would never hire the person that
wrote this for any position that might require any writing
of any kind.
The old saw "You never get a second chance to make a first
impression" comes to mind. This is even more true when it
comes to job searches. I realize that this is an informal
forum, but damn...
Just my two cents

And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
