Anything wrong with this job application?

[Scrutinize]

I always thought it was a silent "i" kinda a posh pronunciation/spelling.

After reading through the jobs section it really is pretty clear on what is the correct procedure I mean it even says to write to "The Managing Director - Overclockers....."

 

[Kell_ee001]

I knew I was right

Well there's a first time for everything!

Clearly some of these people are keen to work, but without basic skills they are going to find it tough.

When my mate got promoted and took on the responsibility for screening applicants for his department he told me of some howlers similar to ^^.

They all ended up in the circular filing cabinet.

This one doesnt look to bad.
He might have just been asking if there was a vacancy before he decided to do a full write up and CV to send in.

Ive done it before. Just asked the basic question really to find out if they had any positions open or not and i got a rather nice response and given a certain time of year to send in a CV because thats when some vacancies will open up.

Fair enough, but it's not always possible to find out who will actually be reading your letter? It could Mark, or one of his tea boys.

It does say in the ads, "Apply to the Managing Director", does it not?

"Dear Sir/Madam"

True, but Dear Sir is just as professional as to whom in may concern IMO.

It's a downsight better than "hiya"

I don't think this is really that bad. I have sent similar looking emails out and have been offered 4 interviews out of the 6 jobs I applied for. If the CV and covering letter is decent I don't see why not. After all these people are only applying for an IT techy job

 

[G|mp]

Hmmmm. That depends what you mean by 'barely literate' - I am sure that a person requires a GCSE in English in order to apply for a PGCE...

And a degree of some sort iirc

 

[Scott Salisbury]

Yeah true, but Spie is still the employer and he shouldn't have to accept anything less just because it's a "techy job". To maintain the image of his company, he won't want complete nuggets working for him, where they may have to communicate with customers.

I know the filtering system that employers use is annoying and thankless, but I don't have anything against it at all. How they make their decisions are perfectly justifiable.

When there are people with A level English and a degree whose English is abysmal, having a GCSE in English obviously doesn't mean a whole lot Incidentally I got a 'B' for GCSE English. I have no A levels or degree.

Really depends on what type of English they studied.

So much more than just qualifications count when it comes to being a teacher. Do you lot have any first hand experiences of bad English teachers, and what makes them bad please?
