Quote: The Video Ref "Seconded.
I have filtered job applications on the basis of poor spelling and grammar, regardless of what uni the applicant went to or how good their grades were.
If they can't even knock up a decent CV and covering letter, than I don't want them anywhere near my clients.'"
I went to university aged 40 along with a few other 'oldies'. What suprised me was the poor standards in numeracy and literacy amongst the students who had just left school at A level stage, some had to have additional classes to get them to a level acceptable to present an academic essay. While not professing to be a master of the English language or a maths boffin, I was pleased non of the 'oldies' had to join them.
