Dear
Hiring Manager,
Has
a brief scan of my résumé led you to wonder about my suitability for this
position? Please, do not be alarmed. You are looking for someone to work for
you temporarily; I am looking for somewhere to work temporarily. We have similar
interests. This suggests a relationship worth pursuing.
Are
you still a bit uneasy? Do you see me as over-qualified? Consider this: my apparent
over-qualification may lead to a faster project completion time. Which converts
to fewer hours you would need me – and less money you would spend to have me in
the office. If part of your objective is reduced costs, I may be a part of your
solution.
Of
course, you may have other objectives. You may want someone who can converse
easily with customers or employees (check), who is interested in doing a job
well done (check), and who can write a coherent sentence without using
text-speak (check).
Then
again, you may see me as either under- or un-qualified. You need very specific
skills or experience which I obviously did not comprehend from your advertisement.
I sigh, cheeks red with embarrassment. May the next candidate be The One.
However, if you are
comfortable with someone who is able to catch on quickly (check), you may want
to take another look at my résumé. I might be what you need for such a time as
this.
Thank
you for your attention and (hopefully) your consideration,
Sincerely,
