The Worst Cover Letter Ever Written (Literally)
We got ahold of the world's worst cover letter, and we couldn't keep it to ourselves.

Here at The Muse, we're fans of unconventional cover letters—doing something a little different that sets you apart from other applicants and lets your personality shine through.

As long as, you know, it's done well.

We've spent our morning cringing after being forwarded the World's Worst Cover Letter (as we've officially dubbed it) and couldn't resist sharing it with you as an example of what you should never, ever do. Please.

And, fair warning: If you do send in something like this, the hiring manager might just pass it along to us.

As Social Media and Community Manager, Brooke is intrigued by (okay, obsessed with) all things social. She has been Musing since right after she graduated from Smith College, beginning first as an intern. When Brooke isn’t conjuring up new Tweets, she can be found trying out new foods, wishing she had a Boston Terrier, and Instagramming. Say hi on Twitter @beetorr.
