For someone in college or taking college level courses, his grammar is atrocious.

A lot of people do. Some of the most brilliant, insightful people I've met have been covered in tats, and have long hair. I assign value to unorthodox appearance. Without saying a word, you imply you're true to yourself, and aren't wearing a mask to get ahead in life(an ass kissing weasel). If his qualifications looked good, and I liked what he had to say, I'd prefer him to someone more "polished".

Unfortunately, the majority of people deciding who's hired and who's not judge on a persons outward appearance as well.

Sometimes you have to play by the rules and get a hair cut to get ahead. I did. It was just hair. It grew back. Once I proved my worth at any workplace, then no one cared if I grew out a beard or my hair. Well, except for back when I worked retail in my early twenties.

Dear Devin. Get a haircut. While we don't judge people based on their looks, our older clientele DO. Thus, we're not sticking you into any position that is seen by the public. Good day.

Edit: On second thought. Dear Devin, we have found the following errors in your Craigslist advertisement seeking a job. We feel that a serious candidate, worthy of hiring would have at least double-checked their post for errors. While we would accept that you may have overlooked one or two errors, your advertisement sells yourself as someone with a lack of attention to detail and who feels that shoddy results are acceptable. When we expect burgers to be flipped at the 90 second mark, we expect that detail to be followed rigorously. For future reference, we have pointed out some of your errors:

Dear Devin (cont.), and truthfully, we're torn between whether you are seriously seeking a job and are stupid, or this is just a prank of some sort.

Heck even CL has a built in spell-checker, geez..

He can't find a job at a fast food place or something similar? Those should be fairly easy.
At the rate we're going, you're going to need a college degree and 4 years experience flipping burgers to get a job at Mcdonalds. o_O

At least he's trying but he should have run his text through Word.

Everyone says it like a Ha Ha kind of thing, but it really isn't funny. Companies already put the burden of education on the individual. Instead of doing their job, and teaching people their machines and techniques, people are expected to go school, and learn it before they start the job. It's not enough the corporations are supported by government, they expect to be supported by their employees too.
