What *not* to put in resume cover letter
- "I regret that I have no references. Unfortunately every
company I have worked for has since closed down."
- "I'll kill myself if I don't get a job."
- "I know where you live."
- "I'm really tall, so I think I'd be well suited to this job."
- Happy faces.
- "By the way, I understand that you have unmarried
daughters."
- "I'm confident that I'll get this job. God told me."
- "If, Satan forbid, you let someone else have this job, then...
(*insert horrible ritual at your own discretion here*)"
- "My lawyer told me that a steady job would help my case"
- "Ignore the fact that I only held my previous job for 5
hours. It was all their fault!"
- "Eye heer yoor luking fur sumwun wit gud righting skilz."
- "Will your daycare centre accommodate two-year old
triplets?"
- "I know you'll like my tattoo."
- "I want you - only you."
- "I'm sure my references will support my excellent moral
turpitude."
- "I have done a lot of research about your company; did
you ever resolve that dispute with the IRS?"
