Spell Check people!
posted March 29th, 2015 at 10:22 AM
I have been looking for employment and am disgusted by the lack of care taken by employers in their ads - wrought with terrible spelling and sentence structure. They demand a lot yet won't pay a living wage, makes me want to puke.

so true.
Maybe a persons resume should be written with all the same spelling errors. The applicant may have more success. I guess, the posting should read- "incompetent applicants only"-since the person who wrote the posting IS already an employee. Maybe English is not the language of choice-After all this IS only CANADA.lol
It would be a living wage

If Vancouver wasn't made to be so unreasonably fuckin expensive.
Thanks NOT to the govts that brought Expo 86 and the Olympics and the people/organizations who posted this being one of the best places to live in the world.
(BIG thumbs down)

Why do you assume that straight-A spelling is necessary to run a business?

Well if you really want to stick it to them... start your own business and show the world how to write job ads properly and pay great wages!

You're missing a comma after "spell check" in your title.

Have you met some of the slackers who get into HR? Computers scan your resume anyway so it's not the under-educated HR person picking up any errors.

I was going to write a post last week on the poor quality of resumes I receive. If you only have a few spelling mistakes on your resume you’re in the top percentile of applicants. Most are illegible. And no one is going to hire a bitter know-it-all. They’re the worst of the worst.
