An error-filled job application written by Steve Jobs before he co-founded Apple could fetch more than $50,000 (£35,700) at an auction next month.
A job application filled out by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs 45 years ago is all set to go up for auction next month. Filled out in 1973, the application reflects his aspirations to work in technology. The one-page CV, dotted with punctuation and spelling errors, is estimated to fetch around $50,000 (approximately Rs 32 lakh).
The application lists his name as ‘Steven jobs’ and address as ‘reed college’, a college in Oregon that Steve Jobs attended briefly.
The document does not state what position he was applying for, and is set to be sold by Boston-based auction house RR Auction.

Steve Jobs died of cancer in 2011 at the age of 56.
The auction will also feature a love letter from the late British singer Amy Winehouse to her husband Blake Fielder-Civil.
“Do nothing ‘til you hear from me handsome, I need your arms around me so I can inhale, open my eyes, breathe my heart’s breathe out,” the letter, valued at $US4000 ($5100), reads.
The auction will also feature a 1969 fingerprint card from Jimi Hendrix’s Toronto arrest on drug charges. It is signed by late musician and valued at $US15,000 ($19,000).
