There/their/they're is a really common mistake made by people who don't 
pay attention to what they write.  (cf. "could of", "should of", "would of")

For the latter, I blame Word's red squiggly lines.  The person writing 
the CV probably wrote "pecific" (touch-typists will usually write the s 
with their left hand ring finger, which is one of the weakest fingers) 
and Word's autocorrect thinks that "pacific" is a closer match than 
"specific".

Disclaimer: I tested with Office 2003, may be different in newer releases.
