Good Grief—Guess Who Misspelled the Employer Name in a Job Description

Sure, you’ve seen typos and misspellings in a job description, and you think they could have just run spell-check. But did you ever see the name of the employer misspelled?
This could just be a minor embarrassment to an employer and something that could quickly be corrected.

The Hartford Courant Capitol Watch blog reports that a recent job description for someone to help school overcome the achievement gap recently misspelled the words “standards” and “curriculum.”

Unfortunately, the name of the employer is the Connecticut Department of Education Office of Standards, Curriculum, and Instruction!
