If recruiters and hiring managers expect everything a job candidate submits to be polished, should they not do the same? 

Let's break this down further. A job applicant is often expected to submit a resume and cover letter at the very least during the first round. Throughout the application process, depending on the position, there could be interviews, assessments, subsequent essays, etc. The expectation is for applicants to create something new and tailored to the specific position each time, which always feels like a stretch. 

This is why it can be particularly infuriating when you come across a job posting that is filled with spelling errors, typos, and altogether nonsensical information. It makes you wonder who allowed this careless employee to create this job listing in the first place. It makes you wonder why you would ever want to work for a company that hired that person. It may even make you feel confused and existential about the recruiters and hiring managers we're trying to impress and whether or not they are worth our time and energy at all.
