The document is a cover letter from Jessica Abdulnour applying for a position. She acknowledges that other candidates likely have more experience but highlights her 3.7 GPA, honors program participation, and 5 years of marketing experience working with major brands by age 23. She also notes her Lebanese background taught her sales from a young age and experience adding clients like Boost Mobile. Instead of competing on credentials, she offers to bring homemade hummus to work events to bribe potential employers.

To Whom It May Concern:
First of all, I would like to start off by saying I am fully aware that there are
other candidates applying for this position that have a more distinguished
pedigree than I do. So I am not going to even bother to mention
my participation in the University Honors Program, 3.7 GPA, or experience
working on projects for brands like Taco Bell, Bosch, and Blizzard. I would
never want to seem like I am trying to stand out by hopelessly bragging about
my paltry 5 years of marketing, social media, and client relation experience
working with CMO's, directors, and heads of management at only 23 years old.
I also understand that many candidates may be older than me, possessing a
level of maturity that could easily handle high stress situations and close sales.
It would definitely sound a little far fetched if I mentioned my Lebanese
background and how I was taught to sell literally from the womb, in my
parent's store. Though I am proud of adding companies like Boost Mobile to
my sales roster, I know it can seem lacking, especially when compared to my
Girl's Scout sales of '99 ($2,217.13). My only excuse being that I just try too
hard to be the best employee, open myself to creative solutions, and do
my genuine best to communicate with colleagues and clients to produce the
most amazing possible work and overall satisfaction.
So instead of trying to hopelessly compete, instead I will lower myself to
bribery:
I make homemade, from scratch hummus and will vow to bring it to work for
all special occasions, work potlucks, and arbor day.
Thank you so much for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Jessica Abdulnour

I am an experienced self-proclaimed marketing designer with hipster like
interests. My trademarks include: putting together Ikea furniture, stress
baking, and consistently mispronouncing the word, "aloe vera". When I'm not
creating innovative, exciting, and groundbreaking social media campaigns, I
like to binge watch Youtube videos (BuzzFeed of course), and pretend I didn't
eat a whole box of double stuff Oreo cookies. To see my full resume, feel free
