Ishilove: It wasn’t one AM, Ishi. The AM plenty o, because he wrote on his leadership experience. People underrate writing skills. My former boss in all his wickedness taught me good email etiquette. I can never forget his words- they don’t see you, they read you. Make your words count. I will be on IG, see fresh babe. Oya, type make we see, wahala! 5 Likes 1 Share |

pocohantas:The US arm of my company just laid off one of the Nigerian staff there because of her atrocious writing. I see her atrocious grammar in her correspondences to top companies and blush in mortification. I was forced to draw the attention of my boss and he commented - "I doubt she passed through University as she claims". He wanted to lay her off tomorrow, Friday, but when she committed another unpardonable grammatical blunder yesterday, he just quietly told her to leave. I woke up this morning to see she had left the Company WhatsApp chat. Literally. There are standards and we shouldn't expect companies to lower their standards; rather, we should build ourselves up to standard so that they will be the one rushing us. 11 Likes |

pocohantas: So he smashed the logical and probably the most important part of the assessment (that was written in English for that matter) and yet he was disqualified because of his minor grammatical errors abi ? Unless you work in a communication client(s) facing field, I don't see any point in dropping him. We carry English for head like the Brits but absolutely zero skills. 7 Likes |

Ishilove: Seriously, people like you always make me lol. All my current PAs will best you on everything good 100%; in fact, your exact attitude was what my current PA on international relations put up before I poached her from her former place of work. But unlike you, she had a relatively good-paying job. Of course, I've polished her better and well-enough now. Most of you've always missed your destiny helpers because of needless public haughtiness. Anyway, I know that you've already started putting my advice into practice. I'll be observing you and a few others from now onward, and once I see a good improvement, I'll do the needful. My word is my bond as always. Always accord aristocrats due respect whenever you're opportune to come across one, especially on a leveler like this forum. Making or leaving people better than I met them in different ways is one of my numerous hobbies. 25 Likes 3 Shares |

He wasn't biased, but probably the interns need to work harder to earn their spot. With Grammarly or some other language correcting software, this error could have been avoided. |

Lol, even your boss makes English errors from time to time, everyone does. During my preparation for WAEC that year, my English lesson teacher pointed so many grammatical errors that are wrong but, are seen as correct in Nigeria. So in my opinion your oga is wrong, and making a mountain out of a molehill. 3 Likes |

Your boss is not wrong. One should be able to differentiate when writing officially and for fun. Unfortunately all the applicants with the AM's forgot that and recruiters use this to disqualify candidates. |

izzou: Its a job for Pete's sake, where everyone is expected to bring their A-game. That error was rather too expensive. I wouldn't employ somebody who makes such a mistake. It, as a matter of fact, goes beyond the act. Such person can make an expensive administrative mistake that can cost the company so much. So, believe me, I understand where Pocohantas' employer is coming from. Moving on, I always tell people to avoid colloquials such as am, k,aii, sup... Once you are used to these shorthands, your brain would be conditioned to use them even in official cases without any red flag. 4 Likes |
