I think the point here is that every job seeker needs to be as professional as possible to stand out in a crowded job search space. Thanks so much for commenting! Barbara,

However, I see this kind of advice often, and it's got its limitations. I once worked for a company that needed people with an unusual profile for a position that was not completely articulated. We did not have the luxury of rejecting people for typos. The people we needed were extraordinary enough that it made no sense for us not to forgive their minor mistakes. Ideally, I want a job that is such a unique fit for my skills and abilities that the employer feels blessed to have found me at all. That's a great position to be in. You don't want a job that's got you sweating the small stuff before it even begins. Who can argue with the notion that one should be as careful as possible with proofreading and grammar?
