Take an adult literacy class. If you fill in applications and send off letters how youāve posted above then thereās no wonder youāre not hearing anything back from any of them. If you have trouble with spelling etc then get someone to help you fill in the forms or write the letters/emails.
Being able to drive a truck isnāt enough on its own to get a job any more.
Why are you always tehe 1st to have a go at someone over the way they post on here.
We all know what heās written. Maybe you should train to be and English teacher, because truck driving doesnāt seem to be your thing.
I donāt often feel the need to defend Conor, mainly because I think heās a [zb]! However, the crux of his post was that if the op is filling in application forms in the same manner he posed his post then itās little wonder heās getting little or no response. I agree 100% with Conors sentiments there. Itās not about elitism or showing how clever we are with correct grammer, spelling etc. it basically boils down to a prospective employer being savvy enough to realise that on many occasions his drivers are the only face to face contact his customers have with his company.
If I ran a company and if Iād met and talked to a driver face to face and found him to be polite, responsive and able to hold a conversation then I wouldnāt care less if he couldnāt spell his own name. But if that same driver sent me a written application that looked like a 4 year old had filled it in then Iām afraid it would go straight in the bin.
A bit harsh? Maybe, but itās a harsh world and nobody said it was fair.
Btw, Conor offered the op some genuine tips as how to help himself, he wasnāt patronising or ā ā ā ā taking in his reply imo.
I agree with every word of that.
+1 more.
