Will you hire?

I have been know to hire people like that. But I have to tell you that it drives me crazy and if you continue to have those grammar mistakes then I would fire you.

The reason why is you can not post a article or any kind of writing without me double checking it which mean that it is defeating the purpose of hiring you in the first place.
Which is to save me time ..
If I was you I would work on fixing that ..

Thanks

So if I write a content which has grammatical errors like "the furs were moist" instead of "fur was moist" but the content will be 100% original........

Will you hire me?

Thank you

Actually, both of your examples are correct, but determining which one is correct for a particular circumstance is difficult without more content surrounding the phrase.

If you had multiple furs such as a trapper by trade would have, then the furs were moist is correct and if you only had one solitary fur, then the fur was moist is correct.

Then again, if your are referring to the fur on a live animal, then the fur was moist is correct.

Gotta love the English language, no?

OK here is one sample paragraph... Let me know if it will work or you need more sample.

The rabbit's fur was moist due to the morning dew and also due to the wet grasses. It felt quite comfortable due to the towel I guess. The baby rabbit was quite shaky and weak at that moment. May be it was frightened too. Luckily we had some carrots in our kitchen store box and we sliced the carrots to small thin pieces with the vegetable slicer and gave few pieces to the baby. The baby just sniffed at them and rejected to eat. I don't know what the reason was but I think the baby didn't know that carrots are the best food for them.

We also have some green leafy vegetables which we then gave to the baby. The baby didn't eat that too at that moment but later (may be after an hour) it does eat them.

@jipolis7
That's the issue is..... I am unable to distinguish myself.

@wuleinj
Yep .. here it is....

@tac88
You are correct......but learning grammar.....This old guy now have to open school books

@MissTerraK

Nothing "wrong" there, but "owing to" would be better than "due to" just because of the word "dew" in the same sentence. Small, stylistic point only.

Definitely needs a comma after the word "towel", and optionally one after the word "comfortable".

Comma needed after "frightened".

Better to say "We sliced them".

Into small, thin pieces. ("Into" rather than "in", and a comma after the first adjective).

And gave a few pieces to the baby.

You can say "few pieces" to distinguish from "many pieces", but in this idiom, it has to be "a few".

Originally Posted by dsouravs

"Rejected to eat" is bad. You can't "reject to" something.

The baby just sniffed at them but rejected them. ("But" is probably better than "and".)

Originally Posted by dsouravs

"Either", here, not "too".

Originally Posted by dsouravs

"He did eat them" or "she did eat them".

Past tense, not present tense.

(And "he/she" is probably better for a human, than "it". You could just about use "it", if the gender hasn't been stated, though).

It's not that your English is terrible, at all. The meaning's perfectly clear. But there's a mistake of grammar or idiom in each sentence, near enough. It isn't something that someone whose first language is English will be willing to read, I'm afraid.

Apologies if I sound dispiriting, but given that low-priced writing is such a competitive market, with nearly as many content providers as customers, one has to ask oneself whether it's really the best way forward for you. Sorry!

Wow, that made delightful reading Alexa! Made me think of throw up a few more like that to have your feedbacks, but perished the thought as it also made me mindful of my language and wary of posting where you lurk around!

Based on this sample, I would not hire you, sorry. Your English is actually very good, much better than my Spanish after living in Mexico for almost a year. But, it's still obvious you're not an American and not a native English speaker.

We don't have "kitchen store boxes". You don't "reject to eat".

Ignoring that, your writing is simply not very good. You use "due to" 3X in 2 sentences. Your writing isn't tight enough for me. Here's how I would edit what you wrote:

The rabbit's fur was moist with morning dew. I dried and warmed it with a towel. Though dry, it still shivered with fear and seemed weak. Luckily we found some carrots in the kitchen and sliced them into small thin pieces. Offering a few pieces to the baby, it just sniffed them and refused to eat.
I don't know why. Aren't carrots a rabbits favorite food?

Trying again, we offered some leafy greens. Stubbornly, the rabbit turned up his nose at these also. But an hour later, after acclimating, it gave in to its hunger and ate.

My grammar isn't 100% myself. I personally write on my blog and get good traffic to it. As far as hiring someone that doesn't speak excellent grammar, I would just find someone else that write great grammar only because of the fact that google probably penalize articles with less than perfect grammar.

I would enthuse you to go ahead Sourav. As long as you continue to learn, develop - and persist with it through inevitable early less rewarding times you will face - you will end up creating your own market, customer base. Can you outrun your competition? Many who jump in - be it writing or other services - hardly remain active service providers a year later. Surely they leave more opportunities for you as they exit and you would enjoy an advantage over others coming in after you?

I would hire you. Keep telling yourself that you will get better as time rolls on. Certainly, your writing is better than most, but we must all try to create quality copy. Also, there are many styles of writing, such as writing for small impulse items that have a low price.

People use a very different style when trying to convince the rich to buy yet another mansion. Read real estate copy. There is an almost poetic passion. All this talk of breathtaking panoramic ocean views.

No, unfortunately I would not hire a content writer in English if the English is not grammatically correct. I think this is a problem that is fixable, and you should work on it. A little study each week over time and you will be a great writer in a couple of years.
