Applying for jobs can be a stressful time. While you’re working hard to perfect your resume, craft careful cover letters, nail every interview, and send thoughtful thank you notes, the fact is that many jobs will hire another candidate. Try not to let it get you down.

Getting hired is a matter of perseverance. However, the next most important strength you should have as a job seeker is good spelling and grammar. Proper English makes a positive impression with employers. According to Inc., 73% of employers want candidates with strong writing skills.

If writing has never been your strength, there’s good news – CorrectEnglish® helps to eliminate writing mistakes by checking for contextual errors, spelling errors, word substitutions, and 63,000 advanced grammar rules. All you have to do is type, and corrections pop up within your browser or above the keyboard on your Apple device.

While writing correctly on your computer is certainly important, many job seekers make the mistake of relaxing their writing on their phones. Here’s why you want to portray a polished appearance wherever you write:

Do I Really Need Good Grammar On My iPhone?

The short answer is yes. The long answer is definitely yes! In today’s age of smart phones, our personal and professional lives tend to blend together. That tweet you send out can be found by potential employers. You want to make sure there are no misspellings or grammar mistakes.

Using your iPhone or iPad on LinkedIn is a convenient way to network. You can add contacts in your industry and send personalized notes that are free of spelling and grammar errors with the CorrectEnglish® keyboard tool for iOS.

You should also post job-related articles to social media with thoughtful captions to show your industry expertise. Once again, your captions should be written in proper English.

Finally, email interaction can be time sensitive. If you’re away from your computer for a few hours and you get a response on your resume, you’ll want to return the email before the end of the working day. Make sure you impress with your excellent writing skills.
