They love me, they really love me!

Woo-hoo!

I have my first job interview of this search! The Georgia Straight left a voicemail today asking if I want to meet with their Classifieds manager. I shall call tomorrow and try to arrange something for Friday, my flex day.

So, my resume must be OK if I get an interview off the first ad I send it to.

I'm actually kind of proud of my cover letter for this one. They asked in the ad for you to give them three reasons as to why they should hire you. So I wrote:

I would be perfect for this position for the many practical reasons laid out in my resume, such as my phone background and my computer skills. However, you will want me for this position because if you hire me:

1) My teammates will tell you that I work extremely hard while smiling the whole time.

2) My customers will tell you that I am always bright and fun to talk to and that I make placing a classified ad easy and pleasant.

3) My supervisor will tell you that I was easy to train and that they never have to worry about how my work will turn out.

After sending it, I worried that it might be too silly, but it got me an interview!
