Job Seeking Opinion?

Some companies will tolerate grammar and other mistakes, while other companies won't.

My last Supervisor/Director hired a former Army guy that had dyslexia. The Supervisor/Director showed me his application and he spelled "Army", Amry. The Supervisor/Director still hired him and he messed up our entire warehouse inventory! He would receive things in, put them in a certain location, but write down a different location for me to put into the computer. He made my job pretty difficult! He would up getting fired for not passing a drug test after a vacation he took.

The new guy that was transferred into the Department, knew what he was doing and made my job, of Inventory Management, much, much easier. IOW, he didn't make mistakes!
 
I remember, years ago, I had to take a Pre-Employment Aptitude test that consisted of correct filing of numbers/letters, punctuation, spelling, missing words in sentences and some basic math. Never had a problem with the tests, but I'm sure there were those that did.

I'm not being facetious or cruel, I swear. Did anyone check your personal card for superfluous question marks? Your style of writing is not grammatical when it comes to punctuation.

I think some of the issues with grammar on this site is the computer changes words, puts in caps, runs words together, and other issues. I always check my writing before I post but I notice when I post some words are changed. On one post I put the word yell, and noticed later it said “hell” and it was too late to edit.

But in many jobs grammar doesn’t matter as people aren’t writing.

OK. First of all, can you learn the difference between punctuation for an interrogative versus a declarative sentence? I would never hire someone who puts a question mark (?) at the end of about 50% of her declarative sentences. Others, in here, have called your attention to this habit of yours.

Second: You have problems working, for extended times, without a bathroom break. We've all been over this, before, with you, in your other posts about applying for a job. Have things changed? Have you had surgery, taken corrective measures? If this job is like most others in the retail field, management won't be cool with you taking bathroom breaks every 15-20 minutes.

Why are you, seemingly, making the same mistakes, over and over, again?

Stupid post
 
I think the rules are out the window since Covid hit. You might call anonymously and ask if they are allowing people to come in about employment

I have to say you seem to Lack Empathy for this Veteran who fought to help keep us FREE and the fact that he has a learning disability is offensive to Me. My daughter has dyslexia You have No idea how difficult it is to get a Job and the discrimination they Face. Bravo to your boss for helping this Veteran get a job. Too Bad there aren’t more people like Him. Sorry you’re being inconvenienced for having to put more effort in your job. See if One day you or your family is discriminated against and you can put yourself in this Veterans Shoes?

They fired him for drug use, not for his disability. So how is that discrimination? Getting fired for drug violations has nothing to do with being a veteran or a disabled person. It has to do with drug use .
