In some ways I actually feel heartened by this article on the BBC which says that “employers would be put off a job candidate by poor spelling or grammar”. If I am capable of using good grammar and take care with my spelling, does that give me an advantage?
More from the article:
Only 24% of employers interviewed said they were interested in a candidate’s class of degree and 14% in the reputation of the university they had attended. … “They rank relevant work experience highly, and expect candidates to be able to communicate well and show that they are highly motivated too.”
