job search

[J. Eric Gilliland]

I completely agree with you, but spellcheckers will catch 
this "feilds Im"
and this "fundimentals".

The spelling errors are aside from the incorrect hominyms
and plain poor writing.  I would never hire the person that
wrote this for any position that might require any writing
of any kind.

The old saw "You never get a second chance to make a first
impression" comes to mind.  This is even more true when it
comes to job searches.  I realize that this is an informal
forum, but damn...

Just my two cents

And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
