• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

One-Shot Letter of Application

Music Dragon

Doosic Maggon
Pronoun
she
Dear Sir or Madam,

I write regarding the position of language school receptionist advertised in last week’s edition of Language School Receptionists Weekly. I am a former steamboat engineer currently unemployed as a result of the recent invention of the diesel engine; hence my applying for this job.

As my work has required extensive travel between the continents, I am well acquainted with a number of cultures and their respective languages. To name but a few, I am fluent in German, Japanese, Esperanto and, of course, English; you will find a complete list of the languages I speak in the enclosed curriculum vitae, in which I also helpfully provide a summary of relevant personal qualities.

Furthermore, through my interactions with the crews of various ships, I have developed extraordinary social skills. Among my friends, I am noted for my ability to handle topics of conversation of great diversity, ranging from the craft of steamboat engineering to the proper care and handling of steamboats - a skill that will surely prove useful.

In addition to the curriculum vitae, you will find enclosed a written character reference from my former colleague Jules Wells. Although he has since passed away due to lead poisoning, and is therefore currently unavailable for contact, I believe his letter will satisfactorily prove that he would have vouched for my suitability for the job, had he still been alive.

I will be available for interview at virtually any time, seeing as I am unemployed and do not engage in recreation.

Yours faithfully,

Herbert G. Verne
 
yo you leave me OUT of this
