Breaking Jobs News - Text Messaging For Jobs

written communications I
receive from people
(communications other than text
messages) where the entire
message is written in lower
case letters, without any
punctuation, and using
abbreviations totally unknown to
myself.

When looking for a job,
employment, full-time or
part-time work, and even if your

bursts, are radically failing the
grade when it comes to issues
such as grammar, spelling, and
proper writing styles.

As a person who is involved in
