My favourite one is when applicants bring their portfolio in a WORD file - and then when the fonts and formatting go off, ” But it looked fine on my screen!” is all they can come up with.

Seriously, people!!

Great post, have added you to my daily reads. Cheers!

Hey Leslie,

Great post. It amazes me how often designers fail to put any time into designing their resume and I fully agree that the inability to follow directions in the application process screams that someone would likely ignore directions later. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Leslie,

It’s amazing how many people don’t follow simple instructions, such as attaching a file. It says a lot about attention to detail.

“Don’t lowball” - absolutely.

Great tips.
