Why not have the employers try and get the best candidates by showing the wage and working conditions they have to offer? I've often turned down job offers which always surprises the employers who think they hold all the cards... hmm, always the employers laying down the rules.

I always wondered whether the hiring manager would mind being followed on Twitter so this it's nice to know that in your case at least, that's OK. Not having any typos in an email is a great idea. I am particularly aware, at this point, of the importance of getting a second pair of eyes. Thank you Nick for this useful info.

You should have written: "The problem is not that you can’t spell, it's that you have not taken the time or been resourceful enough to make sure that your work is produced to a professional standard." Not this: "The problem is not that you can’t spell. Its that you have not taken the time or been resourceful enough to make sure that your work is produced to a professional standard." Ask your friends and family to read over your blog postings for you - a fresh set of eyes often spots unseen errors. People in HR shouldn't live in glass houses. ;) Come to think of it, I don’t even think that’s a sentence, it’s a fragment. You should have written:
