im still laughing!




Mr. SmaXXXX,



As a XXXXX student, I am humbled that my pursuit of higher learning, as well work experience, coincide with the position offered by this fine company. Consideration for this position would enable me to utilize, as well as demonstrate, the analytical, communication, and leadership skills I developed while interning with XXXXXXXX in Real Estate Capital Markets. Not only has participating in the above mentioned internship prepared me to be a part of the workforce, but the completion of my thesis as a requirement to obtain a B.A in Economics shows the discipline and focus required to operate efficiently as a part of the workforce.

Also as a XXXXX student, I realize that “Change equals Opportunity”, and my pursuit of academic excellence and valuable work experience will serve as a catalyst to impact change, which makes way for opportunities.

The opportunity to effectively serve as an integral part of your company’s staff would be an honor. For your review, I have attached my resume. Your consideration and time is appreciated, and I look forward to speaking with you more about this career

Resume's are a joke, interviews are a joke, the whole process of obtaining a job is a joke.

jeez slash, parts of it are a bit much, but it just sounds like the kid is trying to get a job.

 

[Wiked03]

Funny shit MIke...


Totally agree Zack. Companies seem more interested in buzz words and people that will kiss their ass than actually finding an intelligent person to do the work.


EDIT... i was talking about BS cover letters, not resumes.

I have to politely disagree with you there

I'm a recruiter and a good resume does not necessarily mean good candidate, but....... 9 times out of 10 , shitty resume = shitty candidate

A resume is simply a brief snapshot of your career, but a well put-together, informative resume can certainly help you get your foot in the door, and help you get a leg up over the guy next to you.

just my .02

agree and disagree, i think a coverletter should be geneated based on the job applied for. I do not think that you should just copy and paste it to everyone. if he was applying for ibm or some corp job that buys into all the "out of the box bs" it may by mopre appropriate. This is way over the top bullshit for a job as a car salesman.

 

[Wiked03]

Jason, this is the kind of stuff I am sure he is referring to...

If it is such an honor, will you be needing any pay? :lmao:

Haha, yes definitely a little thick for car sales.

And yes, every cover letter should definitely be customized for each position applied for. :biggthump

 

[skyhighsd]

Wow a B.A in Economics= car salemans. Damn there is another job thats not for me.

 

[SLASH]

and i am not talking resume, i am only talking about cover letters, the first thing a prospective employer sees, the first impression.



bs is bs no matter how it is written or precieved...

case in point...

did he actually mean to write this as he was wanting to be a car salesman?

If I was hiring for a job, Id respond and hire anyone who wrote something like this:

"Im not an idiot; I'm easily trained to do unfamiliar tasks, I show up to work on time and have common sense."

...but the business field doesnt work like that.
Just like having to get dressed up for interviews and such... Clothes do not portray a picture of a someone's work ethic. It just shows you have nice clothes on.

just sayin...

 

[GLADIATOR]

Sounds like an a$$ ki$$er which will underachieve. This guy is full of himself.

I was always told that you should dress for the job your applying for.

I.E. if you're applying to be a mechanic, dont wear a suit and tie. If you're applying for an office job, dont show up in a tshirt and jeans.

 

[Rotard]

Nice to know a well thought out letter gets ridiculed

So you don't like people that use correct grammar to write to you, but you also don't like TOO much correct grammar and formal language.

yes, yes that is EXACTLY it.

Thank you for carefully reading the thread and understanding the reasons why i posted what i did.

I have to agree. He lays it on a little thick but what do you want, "I'm over qualified but a bad economy means I'll have to deal with selling cars until it improves."

Besides the fact that a person with a degree and probably a decent understanding of numbers since he has a degree in economics is willing to work for you, you should hire him because of the BS. Half of the sales people I've met are full of it.

i have had doctors, lawyers, denists, mba's and other selling cars in good times and in bad. i should of known this thread would get blown out of porportion.

where can a person with no formal education make 100k plus? better yet where can a college grad do that.

my point was that this tool used a formal cover letter and copied and pasted it without tailoring it to the job he was looking for. no reason to read any deeper.


come on like carl said "its would be an honor?"

give me a fucking break.

I guess that means you didnt hire him:lmao:
