You know I wouldn't be too concerned about what Dell say I was not aware they were hiring in the Irish market so where did the 1000 cvs come from. I have spent almost 2 months dealing with dell trying to get a new pc issue resolved and found them to be unbelievable and complete sh***.
I see a difference between education and understanding punctuation or grammer, some are gifted in the are of langauge and others have different gifts.
Many well educated and intelligent people I know have so called learning difficulties and dyslexia so writing and filling out forms prove difficult and also quite often these people perform poorly in exams. They are judged on a perticular days results and fail but it this in no way means they are not well educated.
If I was hiring someone I would not allow exam results or grammer to interfere with my decision to employ.
