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
