Cheeky Job-seeker.

Several days ago I was in a sarcastic mood, and I applied to a full time temp Admin. Asst position for a consulting firm in Midtown. They called me today for an interview. I'm going to start writing more cover letters like this. Enjoy:

Dear Sir/Madam:

Hello! My name is Kimberly and I've been working with computers since before they took the training wheels off my bicycle. Beyond technologically "comfortable", I'm technologically innate and have resuscitated many a dying computer from pestilence such as viruses or simple human error (deleting a necessary .dll file? we've all done it...). I'm a troubleshooter, I think on my toes and am absolutely trainable in all things tech-related. Just please don't try to teach me how to cook. For my current position, which expires this Friday, I've composed bountiful "How-To" manuals on using programs or fixing tech problems. I'm also a polished Administrative Assistant with 4 years of experience faxing, word processing, answering phones etc. I'm "phone-friendly" in that I am civilized and articulate, and I function extremely well under pressure. September and October are ideal for me and, based on your job posting on Craigslist, I am ideal for you. Attached is my CV for your review. Please contact me there is any further information you require.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Kimberly A. Elia

Tu. SI tu.

Desde cuando?
