BRIAN HUNT, Bellbrook: “We’re employers. One of our biggest pet peeves is when we advertise and people respond with terrible grammar, punctuation and spelling. They use texting language, such as ‘u’ for ‘you.’ We don’t even look at those applications.”

KAREN PIRRELLO, Centerville: “Our daughter’s been looking for a job in interior design for nine months. She has worked very hard networking online, through her university, through friends and family. She’s had great interviews. The companies don’t have openings, but promise they’ll call when they do. They seem to be worried that the economy will fall again.”
