The Problem with Bad Grammar

Grammar is a relatively simple thing to grasp, let's face it, we all learn basic grammar at school and use it constantly in our daily lives. However, when writing CV's, avoiding grammatical errors can be crucial in securing yourself an interview. Good grammar is rarely praised but lots of grammatical errors give a bad impression to employers.

Things to watch out for include putting capital letters in the correct place, the use of apostrophes and using the correct version of certain determiners such as your and you're.

Reed have put together this handy guide listing the most common mistakes and how to avoid them when writing your CV: http://www.reed.co.uk/career-advice/blog/2013/april/common-grammar-mistakes-to-avoid-on-your-cv

If this is not detailed enough I would recommend a book called Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss. Its an easy read written in a comical style but it acts as a great reference guide if you're ever feeling a bit lost with grammar, particularly punctuation.
