Theres' a big diffrence between the time someone spends writing a post on BE...and that they might spend writing & poof reading they're CV or cover letter before they send it to a potential employer.

There are plenty of people from the UK who post on this site and was thinking of emergrating and carnt spell properly - they get the grammer nazi thing but not this type of response, innit.

Its nothing at all to do with spelling or grammar in his post. Its quite clear the OP has poor English language skills and may suffer.

Certainly when I have been sifting applications for my own company in the UK, the ones with careless covering letters and CV's were binned without consideration.

Ahhh well woteva, I ain't bovvered.

All e is saying, like, is that yer more likely to get a job in an English speaking country if, like, you can reed, rite and speak the lingo better than the next lucky contestant.

All fings being equal.

Unless you wanna drive cabs.

Stands to reason dunnit?

My experience is someone with less than perfect English can get a job...and a good one at that. Not saying don't mention it...but give the OP the constructive advice they were actually after as well!

Righty dokey matey, I agree that someone virtually unintelligable can get a job in IT where a decent standard of English is expected.

I know, because I deal with them from around 2:30 in the afternoon when India wakes up and we have to deal with IBM technical support.

The usual "I am not being racist" disclaimer applies here but **** me it does my head in.

Thats a good shout and I don't think thats racist at all. If anybody did then surely its political correctness gone mad.

Aye, it is bad enough trying to resolve deeply technical and complex issues over the phone without having additional handicaps chucked your way.

But hell, if you can off-shore the support and save a few bob who cares what the people who have to deal with it feel?

At both ends, I'll quickly point out.
