Breh I dont care about this job shyt, its just a temporary solution, my long term goals are way bigger...I just need it until I can get my following built

Then you need to care, breh. You can't be like "I don't care about this shyt" and "I just need it until such and such" in the same breath. You put your best foot forward at all times, breh.

U wanna tease em a lil bit in the cover letter with an idea that they'll have to bring you in to learn more about. In the interview you talk like ur already apart of the company instead of applying. Now the tables have turned. It's not u looking for a job. It's them looking for you in a conversation between colleagues. Good luck!!!! You'll get it!!!! I'm cheering for you!!!! Gambatte!!!!
appreciate it.....thanks...youve always been nice too me....were cool :hug:

Awww, thanks! I taught basic life skills for a few years at our local community center - the one that was in-between my apartment complex and government housing (literally). You have kids out there who really need to learn these kinds of skills, and I wish they'd make it mandatory for graduating high school - that, and financial skills. It hurts me so much to see how poorer people get so horribly fukked simply b/c they don't know any better. But OP just sounds like an obnoxious prick. No excuses. shyt, he's talking about looking over a portfolio for a job when most of us have CAREERS.
This is exactly what I've been saying. In Junior and/or senior year I think personal finances should be a MANDATORY course to take so kids don't get screwed making mortgage decisions with student loans.

thats respect, Im going to take your advice. U didnt come at me condescending and talking down to me like im a child, you came at me respectfully and like a gentlemen...some people dont know how to talk to ppl, but then again most HR people are dikks
U were actually rude to me 1st. If u only take the advice if its delivered in the way u want it you'll miss out on a lot in life. Ppl actually cared abt trying to help u in this thread, whether u liked the tone or not. If u wanna disregard all these gems then Godspeed

For the sake of your bank balance, you should.

If you're not:
  • self employed
  • already on
  • you don't own a business
  • you don't have a rich family

swallow your pride, and put in work.

This thread. :deadrose:
Post a sample of your work, OP. Even if you have to watermark or crop it. If it's fire, I'm sure the tone will change. :yes:

I see ...

If this is the case, then you ought to be well-known and well-connected to the point where people call you when they have an opening to see what you're up to, not where you're asking a bunch of people -- regardless of how insightful and as knowledgeable as they have shown themselves to be -- on a messageboard about how to fix a cover letter.

Exactly. Hell, I could contact my old grad school advisor TODAY if I need to. OP's such hot fiyah, but he's having to get Coli knowledge on how to write a cover letter to beg random people to look over his brilliant portfolio. Who knew Dylan Dilinjah is an artist now?

Your grammatical errors will be the first reason they don't call you back. Secondly, your cover letter should be very specific to the job you want. Listing all the things you've done is what your resume is for.



naw I dont got time for a new letter per job...I write one and attach it .....my work is so fire...it should matter anyway



Ask for advice, rebuke it brehs

@DrX just a heads up but you should edit the original post because every employer googles the fukk outta everyone before hiring

you dont want them to google a part of your cover letter, find this and come across all your other threads :wow:

also that cover letter is pure trash
