As an employer I care more about the person's attitude about work then their skill set. Skills can be taught, work ethic not so much. If that CV was as bad as I think you are making it sound, I would have tossed it without spending any time on it.

Of course I hire people into potions were details matter. So that may prejudice my view.

OK... in this case, if you were the owner of the RV place and looking for a Top mechanic, found one with top references for all the skills needed and more, but didn't have the schooling or academic training to write a good CV, would YOU have turned him down?
