What good writing indicates, and doesn't

Brock Haussamen, a professor emeritus of English at Raritan Valley Community College in New Jersey, is the lead author of "Grammar Alive: A Guide for Teachers."
[Excerpts]
"Good writing — writing that is clear and interesting and free of most
surface errors [if this is the litmus test of "good writing", how much reading materials are available for the Khmer population?]— is a reliable indicator of certain job-related
abilities."
"The most important job-related ability that an employer can assume when
looking at a well-written cover letter is that the applicant can read
well. A good writer is always a good reader. This is important, for even
in jobs that don’t require any writing, reading — of forms and
instructions at least — is usually essential. Good writing also
suggests, though it hardly guarantees, that the applicant is capable of
thinking clearly and has a solid work ethic."
