Jack Dawe Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 I love the new BS website vacancy announcement, for a new groundsman, or woman: "We take huge pride in all our pitch's and ..." "If you think you have the right skills and quality's......" Maybe they could Hughes someone who are you that takes pried in there punctuation and has the right skills and quality's to right proper, look. If your that person, aply now to Bristol Sport #makingbasicerrolswivthespellingandgrammerwhogivesaf***upthecitytilidie How can you get "pitches" right, then wrong a few lines later?! And this on the day the GCSE results comes out! It's the small things that c*unt - attenshun to detale. Marjory Gaynes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed standards of grammar, have significantly lowered in recent years, not just in 'Adverts' but in press and media as well. Mine is not the best either...When speaking it's fine, but not when writing I'm afraid. Having an English teacher I didn't get on with, then a Secretary for many years, that did my emails and letters hasn't helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as your customers get to the bottom of the piste/end of their week's skiing in one piece, that's all that matters spud. Some jobs need a better grasp of spelling and grammar than others though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumRed Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Get Taylor Moore to do the recruitment ads in future, sounds bright. You never know we may get a French groundsman or woman. That'd be handy if they discovered an untapped plethora of truffles just in front of the Dolman. Would fund a few players and explain the odd odour all at once.

Dealing with discerning clients who are educated...they expect the same in return. I was however referring to when I worked as a QS. But agree totally with your sentiments JD.

It goes back to the fact that City have invested in getting the footballing side right and, I am sure, are paying appropriate salaries for the skill levels involved. Unfortunately for the off field activities thay do not pay well, have not invested in getting it right with the result that they embarrass the club with rubbish like this and the continual ticket infrastructure fiasco. If they want to build a well run, professional, state of the art club then they need to wave around some P45s and recruit the appropriate back office staff, who will not be paid peanuts.

AshtonGreat Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 It's depressing really.

I've missed something. When did Jesus Christ complain about the educational standard of the club's media department? I didn't realise that JC even posted on here, and if so, what's his user name?

Jack Dawe Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 I believe that we need to start investigating the "DNA" of the office staff down AG, and maybe copy the First Team and Des and MA and recruit "intelligent" pen pushers (or mouse pushers, I suppose). And the same for the kiddies serving up the grub for our loyal fans paying £120 a head (daft sods). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't be that bright in the media department, there are a fair few errors across City's website The 'Featured Players' aren't 'featured' at all, they're the first 5 (FF, ML, JB, AF and DW) Searching the site shows the top stories no matter what you search Text overlaps everywhere Sponsor logos don't show up (60% of the time) Many pages and images haven't been updated since Steven Pearson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A business with a 40 million plus property, who pay recruitment fees into the millions and some of the staff being paid over 10k a week? I think you'd expect some level of ability, if this was RBS people would be going off their rocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that any other business of that size would employ people capable of the roles they're being asked to fulfill. I'm not in the position to invest a large amount of money but if Hargreaves Lansdown sent me anything like that I'd be wary of giving them my cash. Small local business, don't care, but an organisation as large as Bristol Sport really should be able to do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really bothered it just surprises me. This is a job advert, I for one wouldn't want errors like that on my cv if I applied for a job.

Proof reading doesn`t happen any more, it all done with a spell checker. You just have to read any book or magazine to know that. I reckon the only one that still does it are Private Eye as they get a lot of their material from other publications` misprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
