Grammar police

Kyle Wiens, a writer for the Harvard Business Review, recently blogged about how he will not hire someone with bad grammar, going as far as to give grammar tests to potential employees. A little extreme? Maybe. But he brings up a good point. Typos and improper grammar give off the impression that you either don’t know how to write correctly, or are too lazy to go back and check your work. 

We all make mistakes, and a misplaced comma does not mark the end of your professional career. However, taking the extra time to proofread your emails and company publications will ensure that you are giving off the best possible image. If you know that you are one to make grammar and spelling mistakes, enlist a fellow co-worker to quickly scan your work before you click “send.” We don’t all have to be champions of the spelling bee, but a little editing goes a long way.
