"Hello! My name is [protecting identity from the scary intarwebz] and I am responding to your ad on craigslist.com. I am looking for steady work with fair pay in a fast-paced and people-driven environment. I have a very easy-going personality and I get along well with almost anyone.

You asked me to tell you why I should be the one you hire. I could go on and on about how I just love to wash dishes and how much I enjoy mopping floors and scrubbing toilets...just like everyone else would to impress a potential employer.
But I am going to be completely honest with you...I hate doing dishes and personally, I die a little inside every time a mop is handed to me. But I work hard at whatever task is assigned to me, the likable ones and the loathsome, without complaint. I never shirk my duties or try to pass them off to someone else just because I don't like the chore. I take pride in any job I do, and cutting corners is not an option, not only because I am a major clean freak, but also because I take every task I am given personally and one thing I can't stand is to have my name associated with half-assery and shoddy workmanship.

And I will say this, I may utterly despise doing dishes, but I am damn good at it.

I have attached my resume and hope you will consider me a qualified candidate for the position. Thank you very much for your time and giving me the opportunity to express my interest in your business."
