This is asking what YOU think! Having hired people, my opinion is yes indeed. Many applications went straight into "file thirteen" or "the wastebasket." It's one way to weed people out of the interview process.

A résumé that is marred by grammatical errors, for example, may prevent a job candidate from progressing to the interview stage. Do you think it is appropriate for people to be judged based on their writing? Explain your answer.

Absolutely. I work at a learning center, and when I look at an applicant's application, errors are the first thing that I notice. A hard worker at any job would at least proofread their resume, in my opinion. Anyone who wouldn't take the time to proofread something so important would be likely to just "get by" while working, as well.
Tis the same with college applications; however, I am afraid many online "colleges" look only at available financial resources rather than the short essay.
