People always say only list relevant work experience. So when employers see the gap in your employment history - will you still get that interview?

It's ironic that the section where the writer says to proofread and if she finds one error she'll stop reading the resume includes the wording "created by fifth graders--which is a pretty alarming--but finding even." LOL. To me, it just points out that everyone makes mistakes--even people who are editor-in-chief and giving advice that an error in your writing means "you don't care enough about the job to proofread it."
