(This is the actual letter I sent in with my resume. Are you really not familiar with icanhascheezburger.com?)
Dear Ceiling Cat,
I'm assuming Ceiling Cat runs the show down there at I Can Has Cheezburger? HQ, because that only seems
right. If you are not Ceiling Cat, please disregard this letter.
I am writing to express my interest in the Moderator position posted on craigslist. (You may be simultaneously pleased and disappointed that I am not writing this letter in LOLspeak...but I figure you are getting enough letters like that. I do, however, reserve the right to submit my resume and cover letter with a LOLSara--a cute picture of me, begging for a job. But that remains to be seen.) My zero years of experience in the internet employment world, coupled with my silly obsession with your website appear to align “well” with the requirements outlined for this position. Look, I'm a cute blogger. I don't live in a basement and my parents are 800 miles away. While I've never made a cat laugh out loud, I have soothed my boyfriend's savage feline. If I can do that, I can work with any team of misfits.
As my resume shows, I have never worked for a website before. My customer service skills are outstanding,
however, as is my grasp of the English language. I know your ad says that one of the benefits of working for I Can
Has Cheezburger? is "never having to use spellcheck again. Evar." I truly believe that I would be an asset in this
(dis)regard. Understanding LOLspeak means understanding good grammar so you can break all the rulez.
I have demonstrated proficiency in working independently. I need little supervision to get my work done (and this
helps in my current position since I am the only person employed in the reservations department of the hotel I currently work at). In addition, I am proud to have a generous sense of humor. I am hardworking, but am always ready for a laugh. Leave it to me to be everyone's favorite co-worker. Also, I would really like to show up for work
in my slippers. I think that would be rad.
Most of all, I am passionate about fun and puns and wit. It is an obvious statement to say that I am a fan of your
site. You are certainly getting a meeeeellion applications from excited internet peeps, qualified and unqualified. I am a quick study, and totally fun to be around. (Did I mention that I'm funny and fun?) I would love to become a minion of Ceiling Cat. And brag about my awesome job.
I am very interested in joining the I Can Has Cheezburger? team and look forward to meeting with you to discuss
the excellent opportunities you, Ceiling Cat, has to offer. I look forward to seeing you watching me from the ceiling, asking me for an interview.
Sincerely,
Sara
