The current market is a job seeker's market. Airlines badly need reliable employees, and it is getting harder and harder to find them. However, most airlines receive an enormous number of resumes every day and can still be very choosy about whom they hire. If a resume contains misspelled words, incorrect punctuation or typographical errors, a recruiter will probably toss it aside and resume searching for the candidate who is more sophisticated in the business world. Business-savvy job seekers hone their marketable skills, and correct writing and speech are two of the most essential.
Punctuation marks function to direct the reader, and they can change the whole meaning of a word.
Bad grammar is another issue that recruiters and human resource people frequently encounter. You are often personally judged in terms of how you speak, and you give a lasting impression in the first four seconds you present yourself. Using poor English when giving an oral presentation indicates that you are uneducated and may signify carelessness or low self-esteem. If you are unsure of your usage of some words or genders, have a friend or family member with strong language skills critique your speech and give you honest, constructive criticism. It may be the most helpful criticism you ever receive.
