As I am unemployed, any where's better.
2. My background and skills match your requirements
You're probably looking for someone more experienced.
3. I am adaptable
I've changed jobs a lot.
4. I am on the go
I'm never at my desk.
5. I'm highly motivated to succeed
The minute I find a better job, I am out of here.
6. I have a formal training
I'm a college drop-out.
7. I interact well with co-workers
I've been accused of sexual harassment.
8. Thank you for your time and consideration
Wait! Don't throw me out!
9. I look forward to hearing from you soon
Like I’m going to hold my breath waiting for your stupid form letter thanking me for my interest and wishing me luck in my future career.
