The Cover Letter I Want To Write

I'm applying for somewhere around 10 jobs a day at this point -- very few of those allow me to reach out to the actual hiring manager. I hear back from maybe 1 out of every 30 I apply for. Sometimes I wonder if they're even reading my resume + cover letter because I know I could blow that job out of the water. So here is the cover letter I want to write:

Dear Hiring Manager,
     I'm know that your time is valuable and you may not even waste time reading my cover letter. I feel like my resume speaks for itself and that sometimes a cover letter is superfluous. It's supposed to be used as a tool to highlight my accomplishments and demonstrate my qualifications for the job you're hiring for. What my resume doesn't tell you is the important stuff. I have what coworkers have called an infectious personality, I've never met a stranger, and I make a mean margarita. I know all of the words to every Ludacris song, I like to ride with the windows down in my car even if it's not quite warm enough outside, I'm passionate, and I have a way of getting other people pumped about whatever project it is we have to tackle. I know it will be worth your time to speak with me and I would be an outstanding addition to your organization.
Thank you!

Also -- here is a picture of our puppy watching the dog show. Obviously snow days mean pictures of the dogs doing silly things.

Dottie -- on the other hand -- could not possibly care less.


Linking up with Whitney + Liz because how cute is that button?

    1. Absolutely! She talks to the tv + everything -- it's hilarious. She is the biggest scaredy-cat though -- so she might hide behind the sofa..

  3. I hate job applications with a fiery passion (can you tell I am also dealing with a period of free agency?). Good luck with your job search - hopefully it ends soon!!

  4. Hayatımız boyunca kendimizi geliştirmek ve yeni bilgiler edinmek adına farklı kaynaklara yöneliriz. Bu süreçte, çeşitli öneriler ve listeler bize yol gösterir; özellikle okunacak kitaplar arasından seçim yapmak bazen zor olabilir. Ancak, doğru kitaplar seçildiğinde, hem zihnimizi zenginleştirir hem de yeni ufuklar açarız. Kendimize vakit ayırıp, bu listeyi gözden geçirmek, önemli bir adım olacaktır.
