Politis Pointer #1: Email misspellings

So I get this unexpected job application yesterday afternoon. No problem; I get ‘em all the time, it just goes with the territory when you own a business.

But here’s what I found in the Subject line: “employment inguiry.”

Seriously! All lower case (which is fine), but the word “inquiry” misspelled as “inguiry?” Wow.

Is this someone you’d want to hire? Me either.

TIP: If you care about how people preceive you, use the spellchecker in your email program before sending emails. If you really care, proofread the email before sending it too.
