Hey,
Wrote "make invests" instead of "make investments" in a 300-word section on extra-curricular activities in an application. Auto-ding?
Not sure if important, but it was for a middle-office role (risk).
Thanks

On the scale of typos and errors on a resume, I'd say that mistake is rather high on the scale. I once made a mistake that was looked at by about 15 people and not one of them caught it (I used a word that should have had an extra "s" at the end, but was still a word). You're mistake is easy to catch and should have been caught by you, but the quality of the content of the resume ultimately will be the deciding factor.
for god's sake nobody gets dinged for this kind of thing.
@CBCBCB, "your" mistake is quite easy to catch as well. ;-)
If it makes you feel any better, I once forgot to update the year of the date on a cover letter. Got the interview and the offer.
