2. Hello, my name is Nathan Young, if
I sent you a link to this, it means
you are running a pretty awesome
company/organization, and I think
I would be a perfect fit to work for
you! If you clicked onto this post,
or are looking for some inspiration
in your job search, then I hope you
enjoy what I have got to say. If
you get bored, how about you go
binge on a TV show on Netflix, my
treat!
Welcome To My Cover Letter
3. 1. I have graduated from school and I have moved to
many areas across America. After some soul
searching to see what I am great at, I discovered that
I can write well, take great photos, and shoot some
great video. Enter media and journalism, and my
website Geek Alabama.
Hey, you know what my cutie mark is!
4. Simply, hard work does not have an impact on
me. It could be worse, I could stay at home
crying and eating all day long.
2. I have worked 13 past jobs ranging from fast-food, factory jobs, to
various temp jobs. Even though all of the 13 past jobs ended in not good
terms, many past co-workers enjoyed working alongside me and would
offer me a job if they had one available. I have spent many days
volunteering and interning, and working up to 14 hours a day without
overtime pay, to make sure the job I do is successful.
5. 3. My experiences are mostly writing, photography, and
videography related, you know, journalism/media stuff. I
create smart and interesting content that is shared by many
people on the internet. If I spot something big in the
geek/nerd world, I cover it! I have spent three years writing
for Geek Alabama, where every post, picture, and video is
written, taken, and shot by me!
I secretly wish I could be in a funny viral video.
6. Hey, famous people and businesses need the publicity!
4. Other than writing, taking photos, and shooting video for Geek
Alabama, I have gotten the opportunity to interview people for upcoming
projects and shows. I have gotten the chance to cover musicians, authors,
politicians, TV stars, movie stars, sports stars and coaches, and more! And
the people I cover enjoy the coverage and thank me! I have also been
featured on other media sites and I get numerous requests to cover things
from businesses, products, TV shows, movies, books, games, food, events,
conventions, concerts, and other reviews.
7. The English Language is one of my superpowers.
5. Since I write a lot, I have very strong writing and
editing skills. You would never put out something
with bad spelling, grammar, punctuation, and overall
flow of the article. An 2$d ar+ic|e 1s nevr g00d;
8. Social media, something every geek/nerd could not live without!
6. I have a lot of experience in managing and running social
media pages on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, YouTube,
Pinterest, Instagram, SlideShare, and other social media
pages. I have and still run social media accounts for various
businesses, organizations, and local TV shows.
9. The Internet loves their Photoshop, it keeps Chris Hardwick employed.
7. I am a big computer whiz. I have built and help maintain
several websites including Geek Alabama. I am also proficient
on Microsoft Office like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. I am
also good at Photoshop and video/photo editing software. I
am also proficient at social media tools like Buffer App.
10. I have applied to over 1,100 jobs, and have been unemployed for three years. It’s like
i’m living the life of Rick Grimes in the zombie apocalypse.
8. I am very professional, sincere, and caring. Yes, I have
Asperger’s Syndrome or high functioning Autism, but it does
not mean I am not qualified to work for someone. While on
the job, I am comfortable with everyone from bosses, senior
members, other staff, and the interns.
11. Having a sarcastic bad attitude chases people away, is that right Michelle Tanner?
9. Although I grew up in a violent and abusive environment, I
try to keep a positive, friendly, and overall good attitude; I
like to keep an open and curious mind and always think about
my views and opinions. I am also very dedicated and will
work until the job is done.
12. Pull up a chair; I am ready to help you!
10. I am an introvert, meaning I usually like to work and do projects
alone. But I have also thrived in a team environment where I can
share ideas and implement them. I am also a person where other
people turn for advice and offer assistance.
13. Geeks/nerds are some of the smartest and most passionate people you
will ever meet! I could fit into the cast of The Big Bang Theory.
11. Outside of helping others or working on a project, I’m a geek and/or
nerd at heart. Other than writing a very popular blog/website, I enjoy
watching shows with a massive fandom fan base (zombies rule). I also
enjoy baking, photography, videography, pets and animals, technology,
computers, gaming, being a foodie, traveling, following the weather, and
watching trains (cooking does bring people together). And one my
favorites, watch cartoons! (platypuses, superheroes, and ponies rule)
14. 12. The biggest thing people know about me is I draw roads
and follow everything about roads and infrastructure. I draw
each of my roads on paper, and I collect road related stuff like
old traffic lights and road signs. I also take pictures and
videos of roads and you usually find me standing on the side
of the road watching the traffic go by at an intersection. Yep,
I am a road fan!
You might find me sticking my head out of the car.
15. You’ve thought about it during your commute. You’ve slept on it.
You’ve made a list featuring the pros and cons of hiring me. You’ve
talked to your family, friends, co-workers, life coach, the person you
randomly run up to, and even your imaginary friend, come on we all
talk to ourselves! So why have you not made the decision to hire me
yet? When looking for the best candidate for the job, you need to look
for the person who would fit into your work environment the best, not
someone who has a list of degrees a mile long.
If you are constantly plagued with workers
who cause chaos and you have to let go, you
can stop your candidate search now! I
would be the best candidate and I would
listen, help others, give great advice, and
even give a kick in the pants to someone
who needed it. So, thank you for offering
me the great career where I can shine! I
wholeheartedly accept. OK, I know we’re
not quite there yet.
