Hi

"Despite of" is a grammatical error. Inspite of = Despite.

He didn't get the job despite of his experience in the field.

Sorry,manhthieugia95 I forgot to change 'despite of' to 'inspite.'

Examples:

1.Despite the rough weather, she came on time.

2.Inspite of the rough weather, she came on time.
