A CV is an advertisement, pure and simple.
If you decline to examine the best product for your business, and one
that could enhance your company in many ways, simply because you don't
like the colour scheme used, or find a typo in the advert, you are
somewhat missing the point!
Of Course, it could well be that Ian is actually recruiting someone to
write book reviews, or some other post where a command of English
grammar is actually *required* but for 99.99% of jobs in the country,
this is simply not the case.
I for one have no idea what an indefinite possessive is, perhaps because
by the time I studied English at High School (1983-1988), they had long
given up on any idea of teaching a Standard Grammar of the language, and
instead moved across to teaching purely English Literature.
As I recall, it was only when I had a deep discussion with a german guy
that I actually realised that there even *was* a formal grammar in
English.
Ian.
