April Writing Challenge #4 - Write Based on the Next Line of Dialogue you Hear

"My name is _________ and I am interested in the open position for __________."

Dear Human Resource Manager,
{Dang! I couldn't find the exact name. They tell you to use their name but I don't know what it is! Will they even read the rest of the letter? Maybe I should spend some more time looking for it...}

My name is _____________ and I am interested in the open position for a _____________. I feel like my experience, education, and interests make me a prime candidate for this position with your company. {What if the don't like my name? What if I could have written this line better. Is 'prime' the right word? Does it make me sound like a piece of beef? Am I REALLY a good match for this position?} I am a graduate student finishing up my M.A. in Liberal Studies. I have also been working part-time for the past 5 years in this field. {Do I write out M.A.? Or do I abbreviate the whole thing? Will they consider this a mark against me if I don't do it right? Do I need to tell them how much time I have left? Ugh! These letters are so hard.} I have always been interested in a position in this field, even going back to my undergraduate degree and the volunteer work I did during that time, {Does this matter to them? Do they care what I was doing 5 years ago? Do I capitalize Undergraduate?}Please take a look at my enclosed resume. It shows all of my education and experience in this field. I do believe you will find that I am a great candidate for this position. {Did I mess up the resume? Maybe I should have paid someone to write it for me! They probably would have done it better. What if I made a HUGE mistake on it and that ruins this for me? Will I even know that's what happened?} I would love to discuss further the possibility of my becoming a member of your team. Please call me to schedule a time to meet at 555-666-7890. {Am I being too forward here? What if she doesn't ever call? PLEASE CALL, PLEASE CALL, PLEASE CALL!}

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Moi
{Oh, yeah. I nailed this baby! Of course she's going to call. I rock!}
