Re: OT: "Gissa a Job!" & Location



Yeah,
 
but everyone know that techies can't do grammar/spelling/punctuation, too used to writing code.
 
I like to see examples of well written code more than anything else.

After you've got the content right get someone who did English at school
to check it for grammar, spelling and punctuation. I get some bloody
awful ones through, even those that are via agencies and where the
agency should have checked.

If someone is so sloppy as to have bloopers is their CV then frankly I
don't want to employ them in any role.

One today used "companies'" instead of "company's" throughout and seemed
to think that "it's" was the correct form of an indefinite possessive!
Shredded.
