I've had another applicant spell the name of their previous employer (a retail store) incorrectly, despite including a photo of the outside of the store with its name in full view on the same page in their CV.
Checking your spelling and grammar is really important. Particularly for jobs where accuracy and attention to detail is paramount, spelling mistakes and errors are not a good look.
Don't just rely on spell check alone - ask someone to cast an eye over your cover letter and CV and review it a number of times if necessary to ensure it is error free.
Remember, you don't know how many other applicants you are competing against, so you want to do everything you can to increase your chances of making the shortlist and getting an interview for the role you are applying for.
Good luck!
