Frankly, I'm not demanding much -- this really is on the level of finding a resume template for whatever word-processing software you're using, and working with someone with good enough English to sanity-check. I'm *not* asking for specialty skill in resume writing -- I'm asking for the basic ability to *write*. If you can't do that, you can't do the job: communication is an important part of software engineering, at least anywhere above entry level.
For someone who is applying for a $60k+ job, I don't think that's unreasonable -- it's just setting a pretty low minimum bar for basic communication skills.
As for the critique point, I've already brought that up in this particular instance: that somebody should pass on a (much gentler than the above) set of tips of how the candidate could do better...
