Steve Jobs’s pre-Apple, error-strewn CV could fetch $50,000 at sale

A job application filled out by Steve Jobs more than four decades ago that reflects the Apple founder’s aspirations to work in technology and design will go up for auction next month.

With an estimated value of $50,000, the one-page application from 1973, complete with spelling and punctuation errors, lists his name as Steven jobs and address as “reed college”, the Oregon college he attended briefly, Boston auction house RR Auction said.

Under a section titled Special Abilities, Jobs wrote “tech or design engineer. digital.*from Bay near Hewitt-Packard,” a reference to the pioneering California technology company.
The document does not state what position Jobs was applying for. He and friend Steve Wozniak founded Apple three years later. Jobs died of cancer in 2011 at the age of 56.

Though Jobs responded on the form that he had a driver’s license, he said his access to transportation was “possible, but not probable”. Next to “Phone”, he wrote “none”.
