We get strange things in HR...

No joke - real "cover letter" one of our recruiters received!

Sara Fincher, fair and kind
I humbly hope that you don't mind
My inquiry - if I may -
Did you receive my resume?

If you did, I hope you found
My skill set to be quite profound
And if you'll pardon my inquisition...
Have you yet filled the esteemed position?

If not I think that you will find
My history to be well aligned
I'm a people person, I play guitar
I shower daily, I own a car

I'm clean - I do not drink or smoke
Or 'recreate' with pot or coke
And should it help with your decision
Please know I've never been to prison

About my experience - don't be nervous
I've years of experience in customer service
I know the skills it will involve
Your clients' needs I will resolve

I'm sure that if you had your druthers
You'd choose someone like me who works well with others
I'm self-motivated, reliable
Empathetic and pliable

Should my poetry move your heart
Please contact me and like a dart
I'll waste no time to meet with you
For a friendly, personal interview

Best cover letter ever. Too bad employers lack senses of humor and it's doomed to fail.

But the Dr. Seuss approach, frankly, sucks a bunch of ...


Er, nevermind.

We tossed around the idea of responding in haiku...

We’d like to hire you
But you want too much money
Let’s negotiate
