Are you currently seeking employment?

This is not a "how to" post on writing perfect resume's or cover letters. (there are so many You Tube/Google apps. that covers just about everything having to do with the application/interview process. However, as a past employer I like to keep abreast of current best practices or "tricks of the trade" in the job market.

Today I came across a free app. that could prove invaluable to the job applicant. It's called, "Grammarly.com"...Much like spell check it identify's and corrects "You're" (Your) grammatical errors automatically. While I'm a pretty good writer my grammar skills suck so hopefully this will help someone else.

Also since I'm on the subject, I'd like to make a suggestion. Don't let poor writing skills and poor computer skills hold you back from going after that "dream job" One of my best hires EVER was a middle aged housekeeper, this woman could barely write her own name so I was dumbfounded when she applied for a position on my team. Prior to our interview, I observed this woman closely. I was amazed by her interactions with patients in vegetative states, (or semi vegetative states) She had this uncanny skill for getting responses from patients that other disciplines could not, e.g. PT's, OT's and psych. teams. It was amazing, and goes to show that if you believe enough in yourself, others will start believing in YOU!
