Employers, this is how you should offer constructive criticism to jobseekers

Employers, this is how you should offer constructive criticism to jobseekers I came across this blog post from DMU Student Gateway blog, on how NOT to contact employers. And its brilliant! Heres an image Ive taken from their blog which shows how one business offered constructive criticism  to someone who had sent them a speculative application. The original tweet can still be found here. I think all employers should use this format to reply to job seekers, some may say its cruel , but it isnt because we need to point out the mistakes and support young people do the right thing, if we want to help them get onto the career ladder. So, well done Mr. Andrew Clarke of Stuff and Nonsense. Heres how this employer gave constructive criticism. To help you making the same mistake as this job seeker, DMU Student Gateway blog have put this together to help you out.
