Importance of Writing Well

It is very important to be able to present yourself well, and presentation, as we get deeper into this technological age, is increasingly coming in the form of writing. When you are attempting to get a job, your writing precedes you, as it is almost mandatory to submit a résumé or CV, and sometimes even a cover letter. We can be required to send an e-mail to someone we don’t know, and poor writing can misconstrue meanings of words and sentences.

Writing, my friend, truly makes the world go “round. Every day, billions of people read newspapers, watch television (especially TV guides), and read magazines, all of these things which have to be written and edited by someone. Not all writers can edit, or even write properly. Not all editors can write-although most can because they are familiar with the rules of grammar and what it takes to double-check yourself before you make a critical error. But looking at all of the things we see in print, we know that somewhere out there is the wonderful world of writing and editing.

Many of us have great ideas, and great ideas should be supported by great writing. Many who aren”t able to write well are aware of that. So, in any instance where something needs to be written and should meet any kind of standards, this needs to be proofread by someone who writes well, or even a trained editor. This will ensure that we present ourselves in the best way possible, and no one will write us off as the jerk who mispellt almost evary word in their resumay, which will land our brilliant ideas in the junkpile!
