For remote jobs, clarity of communication is essential.
I hope this doesn't read as mean, since I suspect English is not your first language, but if you are trying to get hired by an English speaking company, you need to use proper grammar and spelling.
If you are looking for job in your native language, and just raising the topic here on HN as the best place to discuss it, then please only read the first paragraph of this comment. I don't mean to exclude you from discussing things here.
- shtpavel 12y agoI'm working on it :)
- yankoff 12y agoDon't let this guy to discourage you. Millions of non-native speakers successfully work for American companies although they don't have perfect grammar and spelling.
- shtpavel 12y agoI know, because I worked for American and Western Europe guys for 3 years, and all was OK)
- TulliusCicero 12y agoMillions of native speakers do without perfect grammar and spelling too.
- mapleoin 12y agoHi, I'm just here to confirm Muphry's law[1]. You missed an indefinite article here: If you are looking for job in your native language, ... [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muphry%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muphry%27s_law
- lyyons 12y agoMuphry's [sic] law, indeed.

- justizin 12y agoclick the link, it's not [sic] so much as Muphry's law is not to be confused with Murphy's. "Muphry's law is an adage that states that when a person criticises another's editing or proofreading, there will be a mistake of a similar kind in that criticism. The name is a deliberate misspelling of Murphy's law."
- yaddayadda 12y ago"The name is a deliberate misspelling of Murphy's law." - from the linked Wikipedia article; emphasis mine
- mseidl 12y agoCan I get the link in Romanian?
