[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 182860, member: 36777"] Hi there, and first of all, well done for submitting an application so early in the cycle - keep this up :) ! To your question, I don't think one or two typos will lead to an automatic rejection at any firm. I remember some recruiters mentioning a 'three strikes and you're out' rule for grammar and typos, but even they said that that is only a general policy. Thus, it was implied that if the application is particularly impressive in other regards, a candidate could still progress to the next stage. For the purpose of avoiding this situation in the future, two things I recommend are (1) saving time for reviewing your application 2-3 times solely for grammar/typos rather than reviewing it for grammar/typos and substantive content at the same time; and (2) if possible, having someone else take a look before you submit.
