8. Back to grammar…
 Poor grammar can cost you your job.
 “Bock writes that he’s reviewed more than 20,000
resumes and that Google routinely receives 50,000
resumes a week. With that level of influx there has to
be some quick ways to eliminate large numbers of
contenders and so Google automatically bounces all
resumes that make one of five simple mistakes –
even though that often means eliminating highly
qualified job applicants from consideration” (Zetlin
2018).
