[QUOTE="kme, post: 8432, member: 113"] In an ideal world; I`d agree; however: My brother`s stepson (18), had an application form for a job. He had to have help to fill in the "address" section FFS. I knew my address when I was 4. My point is that today`s children, as a general rule, know more than most of us about computers (specifically games), and apparently very little else! I mean no disrespect to anyone, or their children. I am simply speaking of this one boy. Maybe he`s thicker than average? I don`t know. The overall point is that, is your handwriting isn`t very good (mine isn`t), a prospective employer is more likely to chuck it away, because he can`t read it easily! As an extra point; as previously noted, spelling & grammar can be checked for you. I don`t know that many youngsters; including some posters on here, who have a good idea of spelling or vocabulary. (Neither have some of the older ones; but I`m not getting into that:^O:^ O) [/QUOTE]
