So I'm doing the college student over the summer thing and trying to find a job...after writing some serious cover letters and prepping for interviews and what not I've figured a few things out...so here's my much more accurate and helpful cover letter:
Hey,
My name is Michael Turner, you can call me on my cell phone (422)-555-3328. Anyways, I honestly think I work pretty hard and have some serious skills. I've mowed lawns and worked on farms for the last few years, I get crazy good grades in school (seriously, look at my GPA on my resume), I like talking to people - like old people, young people, crazy people, heck I'll even say "hi" to a politician or a lawyer if that's part of my job -, moving along, I'm skilled in making up anything that sounds good to deal with dumb blondes or your mother-in-law, and I'm a desperate college student so I'll work in pretty much the worst place ever on virtually no pay with you for my boss and not complain in public.
Getting down to the point, I smell good. Yeah, when you interview me sure to take a good sniff. I'm familiar with basic grooming techniques such as the shower, hair brush, tooth brush, and have learned more advanced arts such as face wash, soap, and cologne, no, not AXE, but stuff which makes people think, "ah, that guy smells good." This is actually remarkably important, before you hire anyone take a sniff and consider whether you want to smell that everyday.
Other than that, I'm somewhat handsome which may help in certain markets, particularly anywhere the creepy old ladies demographic trolls (i.e. supermarkets, drugstores, and the local medicinal marijuana dispensary). I tend not to break things...and when I do I'm a silver level master with duct tape. Seriously important, I've got good taste in music and surprisingly broad. To put it clearly, I'm a freak of nature who can enjoy country music forty hours a week, but can also function on that indie folk rock stuff they play in coffee shops. So give me money and I'll do any random and/or arbitrary menial task you'd like.

P.S. Flirting with creepy old ladies does necessitate being payed ten percent over minimum wage or a daily cup of espresso.
I was surprised by the spending of influence by those listed? In actuality I would have expected it because all are interested in getting what they wanted never mind the consequences. Very useful for me I will bookmark this for my future needed. thanks for a great source.
