Cover Letters = On Their Way Out

When (not if) I am in charge of a company or business, I will never ask for cover letters. Resumes, ok, maybe. Just so I can justify hires to other, less creative folk. However. Some other item submission will be substituted. Options thus far include:

• papier mache
• haikus
• wire sculpture
• colorful acrostic poems
• collages (please let all glue dry before sending in)
• videos
• short story
• cartoon
• song
• dance
• mural
• torn-out notebook page with impressive doodles.

Cover letters are all hot air. I'd rather submit a Post-it Note flipbook cartoon. I'd hire me.
