Dear Mr. Reader-Of-Cover-Letters:
I am an interaction designer. I am an usability analyst. I am a user experience researcher. I am an expert in human computer interaction.
I want to make an impact on people\’s lives. I want to create. I want to design a compelling rich product. I want to begin and finish something. I want accessibility and satisfaction I want to make a difference.
I listen to their frustrations. I empathize with their needs. I innovate. I imagine rich stories. I seek weaknesses to make them stronger. I watch them to understand.
I am what you need.
Sincerely,
Jenn
as a mr. reader of cover letters, i have to critique it, sorry… ^_~
it\’s a quirky approach. i still would like to see a real meat paragraph on say your specialties, an senior project of note, etc.
the paras you have say you\’re creative, and you\’re covering up lack of experience.
\”I watch them to understand.\” i\’d cut that. it weakens your closing para.
and i So read, \”I am a user experience.\” — instead of, \”I am a user experience researcher.\” =D
Jenn – You\’re Hired.
Want to work for my firm? Let me refer you so I get a nice fat bonus for getting you a job.
the REAL MEAT paragraph has been eaten and waiting to be gorged out for a real cover letter. after all, i don\’t want to brag. just yet. :)
