If I was an employer, I would focus more on whether or not the person would be a good fit for the company. Although I think it is important to know the differences between "to, too, two" and "there, their, and they're," depending the job I would not consider this to be a high priority based off of hiring someone into a company. I think having a good, hard working employee, who fits the job description is more important than someone who has perfect writing skills.

Blog 2
In the article, “I Won’t Hire People Who Use Poor Grammar. Here’s Why.” Written by Kyle Wiens I was quite a bit shocked when reading the article. I understand that it is important to have proper grammar skills, especially in the work place. However, I was shocked by the fact that the employer was so focused on whether or not the employee had literally perfect writing skills versus someone who was just a "good fit". This is surprising to me. I was also surprised by the fact that the employer gave out mandatory grammar tests. I have never heard of this and I think it is going a bit to far.

Introduction
Hello everyone!
My name is Emily. I was born and raised in Saint Paul, MN and currently still live in the area. I am a mother of a soon to be 5 year old. I am recently engaged to my fiance of 8 years, and we just adopted our first dog, Zena. With family, work, school, a house, and a dog I stay busy.
In my spare time, I like to to take small trips whenever possible. Last summer, I spent 4 days in Gooseberry Falls, Split Rock, and Duluth! The summer before that, I spent a week in San Diego, California. I also like to just get away for the weekend and head for the cabin! Growing up, my family was big on camping, riding snowmobiles, and four wheelers. So when I get the chance I like to ride around on the four wheeler or the mini dirt bike!
In my future, I plan to graduate from Inver Hills Community College with my Associates Degree in Criminal Justice and eventually work my way towards a Bachelors Degree. Eventually I would like to become a Juvenile Probation Officer.
I currently work as FedEx as a Courier and International Specialist Agent. It is a tough job, especially with the cold Minnesota winters, and the hot humid summers!
Good luck to everyone this semester!
