Craziest Cover Letter I have EVER received at my job.

[Tilas]

So as some of you may or may not know, I work in an employment office. We get resumes & cover letter’s constantly to forward off to companies for people. Well, today I was checking my email and printing off resumes, when I came across this one, and I HAD to share. I’ve deleted anything “identifiable”, so I hope this makes you laugh as much as it made us. And yes, this person was completely serious in their application, and had an actually quite well done resume! Good luck to you applicant!

Cover Letter

Top of the morning to you:

         I guess you would like to know a bit about me. Are you sure? OK. I just want a steady job where I’m not running all over the country, job to job. That doesn’t look good on a resume now does it? It’s been said that I work and play well with others. Well that’s what my kindergarten teacher put on my Report card this year anyway. I like to work hard. I don’t see a point in sitting around doing nothing when there is work to be done. I’ve been told that I work too hard. BLA! I’ve also been told that I have a good sense of humor… But what do they know? Maybe you would like to find out??? I’m good looking. SSSH! Don’t tell the secretary that. Just keep reading, I’m almost done. I am always early. Never late. If I happen to call in sick, then I am most definitely much too sick. Not hungover or any other type of self inflicted “illness”. If I am not too sick why stay home and not make money when I can be sick and make money. I would be sick regardless. My typing skills are horrible. So it took me some time to get this done for you. I just hope you take some time to read it. I did. 10 times. Just to make sure I didn’t mess up too bad.

      Thanks for taking the time to read this and look at my resume. If you need a  worker, I’m here any time. If you have already got all your staff… Oh well at least you have just read the weirdest cover letter ever.

Have a great day. Regretfully not yours yet:  *******************

I think it's great!

[kaoskat]

Hey! I'd hire him! Too bad I don't have anything to hire him for. Everyone is desperate right now and I'm sure this one will stand out. Right now "standing out" among the masses isn't easy. Seems worth a shot to try by being entertaining!

[Beldarna]

I like it. My resume is something like it. Anything to stand out and make you memorable you know.

With a cover letter like that, they deserve at least an interview!

[stopxmotion]

I'd give that them an interview. It's clever, and still written well enough to prove the person isn't just an idiot.

[Spinky69er]

I agree!!!  Good on them for taking a risk too rather then being prim and proper

[Pokestine]

Nice, clearly they know how to use the english language well. I hope it goes well for them.

[kiwimlp]

Actually, as an employer myself I find that letter quite engaging.  I can't believe I am going to say this but I would probably interview that person (so long as their resume was good, as you stated, Talis).  Hehe, best of luck to them! 

[Brightglowpony]

    I actually just wrote a cover letter this week, and that one is way more interesting than mine. 

[Saja]

LOL thats an awesome letter, a great way to grab your attention, I hope he gets the job!

[SnorkMaiden]

Can you tell us which kind of job that person was looking for? If it's something creative, like journalism, I'd say well done! The person proves that they know how to write engaging pieces. I've read a few cover letters lately because we were looking for a new part-timer, and none was as interesting as that one.

[EStRanger]

That is an AWESOME letter. I actually have done similar when desperately needing to stand out. Not quite THAT random, but I tuck my tongue firmly into my cheek and write a cover letter version of a stand-up comedy routine.

Also, when I quit a REALLY bad job in my postal worker days, I maaaaaay have submitted my two weeks' notice in the form of a snarky parody of the song "Still Alive" from Portal (my version was "Still Employed" since I had another job lined up). Too bad all my co-workers thought "video games" were those gambling things you play at the bar. No one got the joke, but I'm sure they thought I was off my rocker!

[TickledPink]

Haha that's a great cover letter!

[fingerpaints]

Hahaha! If I was hiring, I would so give that person a go! That is one of the best cover letters ive seen! Its bold, but hilarious
