This Cover Letter Will Not Get You A Job(?)

Here’s a cover letter, via Business Insider, that someone supposedly sent in for an engineering job.

Dear Open Source Staffing & NYC PHP Meetup Group:

I’m super awesome and have incredible experience compared to this – it includes the required experience below plus I am trained in MMA fighting, am the mayor of multiple Chipotles, Starbucks, and locally
famous restaurants in downtown NYC, and I type really fast. You want to hire me more than anything and you’ll be disgusted at how fast and responsive your API is when I’m done.
