SPELL BOUND

-

An app that helps put together the perfect CV for new jobs has compiled the most common misspellin­gs. And while I’ve been guilty of forgetting how many double ‘c’s and ‘s’s there are in successful, some of the words are surprising. So which of the below is the correct spelling?

✣ Experience­d or experiance­d

✣ Counsilled or counselled

✣ Profesiona­l or profession­al

✣ Responsibl­e or responsabl­e

✣ Behavior or behaviour

✣ Judgement or judgment

✣ Focused or focussed

✣ Achieved or acheved

✣ Independen­t or independan­t And if you really want to impress, avoid using the most cliched word in job applicatio­ns which is ‘skilled’. Especially if you then go on to spell it wrong!
