Mebbe it's the other voice that's your employer and you don't wanna start an argument

It's an email introduction, anyone can do that in seconds. I'd send a letter if applying for a job, it's more 'personal' & shows you've at least made an effort

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?

yes I do, when I was younger. He was awful and took pride in telling us he failed english alevel 4 times.

Sorry to chime in so late.

This thread is very reassuring, in quite a few ways

As its already been mentioned, if the majority of applications you get are like this, i can see why i get accepted to most interviews, i actually take time and work hard on a covering letter and any other relevant information.

Oh, and the suspend spree was fantastic, i'd hate to cross you on a bad day, Godfather - I actually enjoy the privilage of having kneecaps

Well thats me for now, thanks for the interesting thread, you should post in GD more often !

Oli.

p.s. did i get the job?

the grammar is poor on some OC shop pages and a few sentences don't make sense.

see the first paragraph here and what the hell does the first sentence here mean?

Lol, told you its was Gibbo's CV

Enermax Liberty series power supplies are for those who still live in a cave.

Surely that needs fixing?

Spie · 1 Jul 2006 at 13:11

We have to rely on manufacturers for many product descriptions. Sometimes the translation they provide from Chinese is a little strange.

William · 1 Jul 2006 at 13:12

Are you allowed the change the product description or is it tied to the product in some way?

Spie · 1 Jul 2006 at 13:13

No we can change them. I'll get Gibbo to do it on Monday. He has a Masters in English.

William · 1 Jul 2006 at 13:14

Hmm I quite like that Enermax one.

Prehaps you should apply it to the Q-Tec PSU?

Kol · 1 Jul 2006 at 13:21

Goodness me. The second round of applications you posted were truly shocking. I am still bemused as to how 'Zip' thought the one giant sentence application was OK? :eek:

I've read a few of the applications for 'potential' employees of my Uncles business. I cannot believe how little effort some people put in. Like a few people said above, if they have problems writing the covering letter, then get someone to read over it.

At University I have a close friend who is Greek. He sometimes struggles to get himself across in a way that would reflect well upon him. All it takes is a friend like myself or similar to skim through, spot the mistakes and highlight them.
