[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 198802, member: 2672"] Might not even be picked up as an error - at the same time it could and firms that are particular about errors may mean that it does contribute to their decision, but I could easily see how something like this is missed. As I have said many times before, at one firm I worked at we used to do a drafting skills session as part of the trainee induction and the question at the start of the session that nobody got right was “as a percentage, how many trainees had errors in their application” and it was always above 98%. And those were the people hired! Used to be very funny as the consultant (ex partner) running the session used to then show a range of the mistakes and it included some howlers! Accuracy is important but there can be lots of minor errors that are missed unless scrutinised to a very heavy level (like was done in the drafting skills session). [/QUOTE]
