This is exactly what I was going to say. Writing a blog post riddled with grammatical errors (and emoticons!) slagging off your former employer is not a good look as far as future employers are concerned.
- RoryH 13y agoWhile reading it you may have also noticed the fact this person is Polish, meaning English is not their first language.
- freehunter 13y agoThe grammatical errors could be due to English as a second language. I'm not sure that part of the requirements of working for Samsung in Poland is a flawless grasp of the English language.
- heidar 13y agoAre we honestly that concerned with formality in this industry? I'd be more concerned with the contents and less with how formal they are. And what is wrong with using emoteicons in personal blog posts? I don't necessarily agree with slagging off your former employer but his criticisms are still valid. The only thing that I didn't like was: "First of all I did this because this job was terrible boring for me (fixing code of other people is not especially exciting)." - That's not perhaps the best thing to write since he was a junior and this will make some people think he is lazy and does not want to take on the less fun jobs that we all have to do from time to time. And like someone pointed out, English is not his first language. I'm sure you just didn't notice that though. :)
- mrkipling 13y ago> And like someone pointed out, English is not his first language. I didn't register that part, no. In that case his use of English is fine. The emoticons, not so much for a blog post. I still don't agree that writing this sort of post is professional or will do him any favours.
