FYI...I had recently interviewed for a very high paying position as a
TW. I had a typo on my resume! I almost died when the person I
interviewed with brought it to my attention. I thought "^%&$, I really
have to do something!" I don't know why, but I made light of it! The
interviewer laughed and said he would freak if it happened to him as
well.
I got the job.
