Cover Letter From Ninja Wins the Day

Updated 6/19/2020

When we saw this insanely creative job application, we had to give serious props to this (real) ninja.

Sometimes we see a job posting for a ninja (or rockstar or guru) and shake our heads a little bit. Nobody really wants to hire an actual ninja, and sometimes we wish job postings stepped back from the hyperbolic ledge.

So, when we saw this insanely creative job application, we had to stand up, applaud, and give serious props to this (real) ninja. We aren't saying this is approach would work for every job seeker out there, but it definitely stands out—and that's the ultimate goal.

What do you think? Should he get an interview?

Elliott Bell was formerly The Muse's Director of Marketing. He is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute, but opted for startups over 16-hour days as a line cook (for the better hours, of course). Previously, Elliott spent six years making Seamless.com into a nationally known brand, and one month as a culinary assistant on Iron Chef America. When he isn't working, he can be found playing tennis, making chicken stock, or understanding the meaning of rap lyrics on rapgenius.com.
