Yes. But depends on what position they are applying. If they are going to interact with the customers, definitely. An employee is an extension of the owner of the company. Does this owner want to be seen as someone that doesn't care enough to learn good English? Also, when you have completed school, it tells the employer not so much that you are educated, but that you are trainable. If you don't speak well, you probably aren't trainable in a cost effective manner.

How one speaks, the use of proper grammar is often the very first impression we make, not just to a possible employer, but everyone you meet. Good language skills are very important in today's job market. Clear and precise writing skills are also quite vital, the better your skills the faster you can climb the ladder.

Yes... if it involves writing or speaking.
Writing is almost the most important thing for a lot of jobs and being able to speak the main language is also a needed attribute. If you can't speak it clearly then that's not the company's fault.

If the person seeking employment will have any contact with either a customer or another employee then yes. You have to be able to understand and be understood. However if you have no contact with anyone then No I guess it shouldn't matter. But if I was seeking someone to hire it would matter to me if you spoke and/or wrote effectively. The application/interview is the only chance to make a first impression, so make it a good one.

It extremely relies upon on the pastime. a activity that's often handbook hard artwork won't require lots language means, so it is going to no longer be lots of a criterion. nevertheless, *some* language means may well be mandatory, in simple terms so the worker can understand what's needed of him and what his pay would be, what his rights are, and the thank you to ask for help if he can no longer end a activity on my own. If the pastime is composed often of using language, e.g. a secretary, a shopper help representative, a speechwriter, then easily language means would be between the precise standards.

Absolutely, if the job involves written or oral communication. For example, a receptionist must be able to speak Standard English clearly, otherwise it reflects poorly upon the company. It depends on the job. For a plumber, it's not important.

I'd say that depends on the employment. It most assuredly is if the employment is as an English teacher; for a professional basketball player vernacular and written usage are not as critical.

No
An applicant can have an entire resume written by another person, which would not reflect their true standard of the written language.
A stuttering person or an apparent poor speaking person may not be communicating in their native tongue, yet may have excellent qualifications.
There are many other important factors to consider when employing personnel.

I do not think it should be a means of judging a person but depending on the job it might be something they are looking for so it could be inportant but should not be the only thing looked at

Absolutely. If you aren't well-spoken, you aren't going to go far in the world. I would suggest a public- or effective-speaking class. Most community colleges and universities offer them.
