I'm a horrible speller and if you've ever read my blog you know it is usually full of typos. However when I need to write something important to help me get a job or anything else I want, I do know how to write. I take the time to proof it, spell it correctly and eliminate the typos. I learned very early on in life that the horseshit they tell you in school about first impressions not meaning anything is a load of well, horseshit. First impressions are the only impressions.
Someone emailed me to become a volunteer, not really a job but for a 16 year old who wants free TCG product for his favorite game, a pretty big deal. He misspelled about five or six words including my name. Yeah that is a great first impression and I sure want you representing my product to consumers.
I was in the mall and someone had a job application. He was a kid, probably 16 or 17 and wearing a hat, basketball jersey, and ripped jeans. Sure a mall job is junk but you still gotta pretend you want it.
Idiots
This will be the last non-Steeler related blog post until after the Super Bowl. If you don't like it just deal with it.
Go Steelers!!!

Totally agree. I'm sick of interviewing people that arrive in sloppy attire, and I'm sick of reviewing applications that the HR gods have deemed "interview-worthy" (WTF...they didn't even spell 'apply' right!). I can't afford to have wannabes on my team - I need professionals, or at least people with the raw material and potential to reach that level.
Bah. Sorry. I just saw this on the wrong day, and it's particularly approprite for me at the moment. Preach on, Brother Trevor!
