He's looking for a job and he's got his untucked man blouse, pricey jeans and his product laden coif going. He looks like he's had a facial and waxing prior to his visit and seems to take his physique very seriously. After he's dropped a bunch of jargon on me that I - even after a mere year in branding and advertising - know he probably got from TV, he leaves with my card so that he can go home and send in his resume for consideration.So what's wrong with the cover letter that Mr. Candidate sent to the firm that Curtis works for? Here's a snippet:
Instead of accepting their offer immediately, I wanted to reiterate my continued interest in Big Guns and to express my hope that we can come to terms on this matter and begin our happy association as soon as possible.See the whole thing for the awful badness Mr. Candidate exhibits.
Bonus points if you recognized that the firm that employs Curtis is NOT named "Big Guns".
