'Spelling mistakes should not matter because it gives a chance for everyone to shine based on experience alone.'

‘I would be well suited for this roll because I love the industry.’These are, of course, made up examples, but in the time since setting up my FX company five years ago, I’ve seen countless CVs – including lots of spelling mistakes., I felt bad for people who find it difficult to write and articulate themselves – for whatever reasons.

Actually, when I first saw his resumé in 2018, my jaw dropped – not because of the spelling mistakes but at the sheer wealth and quality of his experience. He’s worked at all the top firms and essentially been there and done it. If there was a t-shirt, he wore it!After meeting him in person, I quickly knew he was a rare stone and promptly offered him work off the back of his knowledge, passion and intellect. His CV was glistening because I focused on the content and his experience.

I then like to talk to them face-to-face over a coffee. That way I can look them in the eye and find out if they have the same passion I do about macroeconomics and trading FX, which is all about the wellbeing of a country through data – growth, inflation, jobs and wages. But I really feel it is a sad loss that some companies judge people on language skills alone. We should all be given a chance in life and while spelling is important, it is not the be all and end all.
