You meant on the "Let The Job Look For You"?
I think there's a missing "s" on Look if it's a singular noun. This post has been edited by David83: Mar 6 2007, 08:46 PM |

Added on March 6, 2007, 10:54 pm wah lau eh, you talk what? you invent those rules yourself? You are wrong. The original sentence is correct. The instance of having an 's' as a result of something being singular does not apply here. "Let the job look for you" is correct, and not "Let the job looks for you". "She won't look for you" is correct, and not "She won't looks for you". |

Let The JobS Look For You isn't right because you only need 1 job, not 2!

it's either:
"Let jobs look for you" or "Let the job look for you" both are essentially and grammatically correct. but the bottom one hits u directly (which is good as an advertisement that targets u directly). |

people... the key here is the word "let"... after the word "let" always use the "root" form of verb.
one common example: Let her go. (versus let her goes) |

"Let the job looks for you" doesn't even sound right.
And we all know that when English sounds weird/wrong, it's usually incorrect. ^^. |

When people ask me to explain why a certain phrase is grammatically wrong, I'll just say, "Because it sounds wrong!" And they'll just stare at me. Anyway, "let the job look for you" and "let the jobs look for you" are both correct. But I'm not sure which phrase is the popularised one. |
