Applying for jobs

[sugarplumkitty]

There's a startup looking for a fun systems administrator. They asked that I submit my resume along with a haiku. I took that as a challenge and wrote my entire cover letter in haiku:

Hello,

Job searching tires one
Hope of perfect job fuels me
Is this the right one?

Learning Linux now.
Linux is not difficult.
SQL in the future.

Experience is
Less than you have asked for
Lower pay for me

Learning tech is fun
Learning quickly is my thing
I'd be good for you.

I send Best Regards
And hope you will consider
this, my resume.

Linda Montgomery

oh crap. I added an extra "the" in the one about SQL (sequel). Oh well. Hopefully they'll like my creativity.

There's a game company looking for someone a bit more experienced and educated than I am, but I added the bonus for them that in addition to learning fast and planning to get that education they can also use my voice in their games. ;)

Ink, dry on paper
Thoughts packed and sent to another
Time passes slowly

Coolness a factor.

I realized you're commenting on my posts and aren't on my friends list. I've remedied that situation. There's a bit of drama going on in my life at the moment that you'll now have access to. If you decide to un-friend me again don't worry. I won't take it personally.

That is perhaps the coolest wanted ad and/or resume cover letter I have ever seen. Very nice!
