Preston Howley III Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 What type of job? Tom, I'm just looking for something to pay the rent while I wrap up two more semesters of school- Customer service/ data entry/ office assistant crap like that. I also want to go work in NYC so I can take public transportation. Exxon can piss up a rope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garb Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Every cover letter should be catered to the job you are applying for. No one cover letter should be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomShane Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Name: Garb Position Applying for: Freak Dear Sirs, My name is Garb and I am a graduate of Northeastern University. I wish to enthusiastically apply for your posted position of "video freak" in the various rap videos that your company produces. I have appeared in videos for over twenty years for artists such as LL Cool J, Puff Daddy, The Lox, Omarion, and The Sugar Hill Gang. I believe I am the best candidate for this job because of my experience, my willingness to work hard, my lack of allergies to latex, and of course, because of my booming booty. Please consider me for the position of "video freak." I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank You, Garb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston Howley III Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 http://resume.monster.com/articles/lettersthatsell/ Thanks, Tom. I was gonna hold on to the BS job I got now until I finish school, but I commute 40 miles round trip every day. I'll find another BS job in NYC, and it'll probably pay more so it's all good.

Preston Howley III Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 "Sirs". See, that's the problem. You can go to all that trouble to write it, and some bull dyke in HR with a serious attitude is your first contact. The resume and cover letter go right into the cylindrical file. Foiled again.
