Thought I’d try being furious:
Job Application: JF1010-46
To communications@interimperformers.com
To whom it may concern,
I pull no punches. I f***ing want this job as interim Marketing and Communications Director and believe you me I will have it. Money is my bread, and I want a loaf. I will bake my arms off to get one. You might think the perfect applicant must get their hands dirty. Mine will get burnt.
I’ve got genuine experience of the industry and the requisite business nose too. This is beyond dispute. Unfortunately for you, the result of this is that I demand a sky-high salary. £85,000+. Believe me every 0, 5 and 8 of that will be worth it.
What’s the next stage of the application process? I can provide a CV on demand, but I don’t give things up lightly.
All the best,
T. B.
