Interview Correspondance

I regularly seek editing jobs on a classified website called Mandy.com

I found a particularly enticing piece and decided to apply for it. My contact was a person named Csprinkle@email.com.

Here is my cover letter:



Hello Csprinkle,
Is your last name really Sprinkle? I am jealous of your last name. I wish MY last name was Sprinkle. It's not. My last name is Brookbank. People often say "Bookbag", "Brokeback", "Brookbrag" and the like. People also have a really difficult time spelling it.

Came across your job listing on Mandy and thought I'd send over a link to my online reel:

www.JohnBrookbank.com


Hope to hear back from you,
John Brookbank




Here is the letter I received back today:

John,

The rate is $***/week, but it comes with very nice benefits and could last indefinitely. If you're still interested, are you available to come in on Wednesday at 10:30am?

And yes, my last name is really Sprinkle. I have to admit I am mostly having you come in because you had the audacity to write such a bizarre cover letter. Needless to say, it was memorable.
