A longtime reader sent us this collection of cringe-inducing cover letter excerpts. Most fail at a fundamental level (basic misspelling, knotty syntax); some are Hail Marys by folks clearly out of their league; others are just plain wrong:
“It is through the innovational process, as well as media, that the features of an image can be highlighted and brought to the forefront for the consumer viewing.”
Sounds like it was written by a MarCom professional. Then there’s this:
“I’m looking for work because even though my company was profitable last year, this year they are expecting a large defecate.”
Can you blame the guy for shopping his résumé? I mean, nobody wants to stick around and clean up after a large defecate.
