    No more pedantry please.
    Er, the importance of spelling and grammar extends far beyond job applications and CVs to be honest. That's akin to saying that wearing nice clothes, brushing your teeth and neatening your hair is only important when doing interviews. In a way, it's "conning" your potential employers and future colleagues as to your actual ability or in the latter case, your personal hygiene and standards.

    I wouldn't call that overly pedantic either. I understand that from your point of view, enforcing rules around grammar on people who clearly couldn't care less would be over the top from a relatively casual discussion website, but to disregard it as only necessary for blagging your way through a formality, particularly on a work&jobs advice forum, is reflective of the recent attitude that proper English stops at the school door.

    Anyway, I take offense to being called "an idiot". Particularly by a group of people that have deluded themselves into thinking that they're going to get €30,000 p/a for a bottom-of-the-rung teller job in one of the most broken and hated companies in the country ;)

    I'll leave it at that and we'll call it even on the "idiot" comment.

    I'm sorry now mod but this is ridiculous. This idiot as I'm going to put it politely as possible not only insulted one person but was referring to everyone on the thread yet he insists he was right and he gets a warning. All I can say if you friend is anything like you, and god knows we've enough idiots in this world then Aib will see straight how much of a cocky, self righteous, so far up himself co*k that he'd have a better chance going back to his parents and learning some manners. Ban me if you want mod by all means but freedom of speech is one thing, insults are not.

    Regards

    C'mon now lads let's not get personal here, it's not necessary.

    I point out a few problems with posts and suddenly I'm at the receiving end of personal abuse...and this is just a work&jobs forum? I conceded to let the grammar/spelling thing go and yet the abuse persists.

    Calm yourself down like a good lad, it's nothing worth getting in a huff about.

    OK, in case I didn't make it clear.

    No more bitching about grammar and so on, and no more personal abuse.

    @PowerHouseDan, take a few days off

    And thank you all for the best wishes!

    I still can't believe I got an interview! :)
