ON GRAMMAR
"I hire people who care about those [grammar] details. Applicants who don’t think writing is important are likely to think lots of other (important) things also aren’t important. And I guarantee that even if other companies aren’t issuing grammar tests, they pay attention to sloppy mistakes on résumés After all, sloppy is as sloppy does." --Kyle Wiens
