An alarming number of reports abound regarding the quality of grammar, spelling and punctuation in candidate C.V's and cover letters.
Below we list the most common errors, as compiled by Studentgems.com:
1: Using ‘text speak’ to communicate with employers, in particular the use of ’i’ instead of ’I’.
2: Not checking the spelling. Among the most common mistakes are the incorrect use of where/were, there/their and college/collage.
3: Communication is too informal with the use of ‘hiya’ and ‘cheers’.
4: Poor grammar, punctuation and formatting. Inappropriate use of capital letters, commas and full stops together with a lack of attention to detail when setting out letters and emails.
5: Failing to respond promptly.
