I am Ready for Jelly...Please?

I've had a crush on this company for years, and finally have my feet on the ground enough to try and ask it out (read: Bookstore Wage-whore is not the last thing on my resume). As any modern lady will know, nothing helps you get a date more than a date to begin with. You're approved merchandise. No worries that you're asking out the only company that you think would hire you. This metaphor is getting a bit...terrible...but you see my point.







Dear Ms. LadyIemailed:

Perhaps you are seeking an addition to your *ellyvision team. A new person can provide innovative approaches, new viewpoints on projects, and contribute to the dynamics of the company. I am hungry for a job that is challenging and demands my best performance, allows me to collaborate creatively, and fosters the desire to gain knowledge/experience in all steps of production.

Presently, I am working at *Publisher* as an image coordinator, ordering photographs and illustrations and tracking progress on publishing projects (I'd go into more detail, but I'm not allowed to delve into specifics). I've been working in a freelance capacity, and have gotten a number of compliments on my productivity and energy.

Enclosed is my resume for your review and consideration. *ellyvision has a reputation as a fantastic company and an office environment brimming with talent, humor and creativity. I would like to use my passion and energy to contribute to your products. I have several references available upon request, and I can provide you with additional materials to show I can benefit your company. If you prefer, you may reach me in the evenings at (###)-###-####, at this email, or myemailwhichImnotpullingontheblogforfearofvillans@hotmail.com.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,

Jessica (Jady) Brooks






Also, I didn't once mention how cute my puppy is (in the cover letter). I hope they can read between the lines on that one; I really meant to say "I'm a great employee...and my puppy is a snugglebunny, so I've got that going for me, right?"
