Decisions, Decisions

This blog is about to go interactive. I received a response from a job applicant applying for a Producer position, which is pretty senior at my company. Now, if this person were to use the word advise incorrectly, should I not ask him to come in for an interview? Unfortunately this misuse of the word has been sent to me many times by co-workers, so I'm wondering do I
1. pursue the interview, and see how many other grammatical errors he makes or 2. not even reply and let him figure out his mistake. Let's not even mention the "very interested to explore" part of the paragraph.

"Thank you very much for reaching out. I would be very interested to explore the producer position with your company.

Anyway, kindly advice on the best way to move forward with the opportunity."

  1. Perhaps because I have just applied for a job and can sympathise with all the people in the world who are looking for/desperately need a job, I would suggest you could invite him for an interview, if you think he has got all the requirements for it, and then find out if his grammar is as bad as you think :) Obviously, it is not a good start for him but he may redeem himself at the interview! Give him a chance!
