The way you speak can most certainly hold you back when it comes to job opportunities depending on what kind of job you have. A sloppy language filled with slang makes you look "stupid" in the eyes of many employers and they usually prefer people with at least half a brain. They way you speak and the words you use should fit with your profession. I've gotten the jobs I've had more because of how I speak and look than my other merits.
While there is a limit as to how far a proper language can take you you'll still get further than if you don't know how to speak properly. IMO.
I once told my crazy boss that she was crazy and that she needed help, that ended my chances of getting a better job at that place. So that's proof of words preventing an opportunity. =/
