Job Inquiry #2:
To whom it may concern,
My current occupational goals are to expand my knowledge and take on new challenges. I am a very organized and professional employee who loves working with others to accomplish tasks and work out problems. I have a deep interest in technology and innovative thinking. I bring with me a wide range of experience and thirst for success.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXXX

I will grant you that after reading the first email, you want to immediately hire the person who wrote the second email. And I totally understand why you want to do that - after all, the second applicant successfully created complete sentences, with punctuation and everything. And talked about stuff relevant to work even - working with others! accomplishing tasks! innovative thinking!

- Commenter: yeah, but what's really deplorable is how you keep bringing that up.
(I live in the Mission, I love the Mission)
