Here's a free tip to college seniors looking for a job from a hiring middle manager sifting through countless boring and redundant cover letters and resumes....I'd much rather see an original, creative, funny as shit cover letter like this, than one more touting your involvement int eh student tutor center, president of some made up club with like 3 people in it, or some whole paragraph dedicated to your senior business project.
Sorry, I know you have to put that shit on there, it's not like you have any real world relevant experience, but you're all the same. Really, you are.
I get it, you went to college, you took part in classes, and in senior year you figured you should get invovled in some clubs because it would look good on your resume. Guess what, I don't give a shit. This isn't your college application, your extra curriculars don't mean anything to me. You could have slept and drank your way through your free time or read to the blind and walked little old ladies across the street, doesn't make a difference to me.
And for the love of God, do not refer back to your resume during the interview with me. I hate that. I've read the thing, you've made it to the interview, that's as far as that piece of paper is going to take you. From here on out its up you you, your charm, and your ability to speak like an adult. No amount of embellished accomplishments, or big fancily worded action words that you found while googling "how to write a resume" , or fake references are going to help you now....that is unless you've put together an A+ hysterical cover letter like my man above. He'd be hired.
