Dear Hiring Manager,

Having stumbled upon your job listing, I am beyond delighted to be applying for the open position of Supply Chain Lead with Tollman Creamery. I believe I possess qualities which make me a strong candidate. If you will, grant me a moment of your time, and I shall enumerate my qualifications below.

Previously, I worked at Emple Footwear Inc. as a Quality Control Technician. Daily, I would audit footwear products for quality defects, generally by way of burrowing inside them and inspecting the material with my sensory organs. Other responsibilities included inputting the results of my investigations into our ERP system and liaising with Scheduling and Production teams to ensure quality standards. These responsibilities honed my attention to anthropomorphism and my ability to maneuver around desktop computer systems which dwarfed my physical dimensions. Prior to my time in manufacturing, I grew accustomed to tapping vegetative detritus to produce acoustics that would attract female members of my species. This perfectly translated to success in typing, and I can boast a speed of twelve WPM, which is excellent given my small stature and the limited span of my prothoracic appendages.

After six weeks with Emple Footwear, for the betterment of my career, I accepted a Procurement Analyst position at BleureXSC, a company that specializes in the production of lathes. In my role, I exercised linguistic and bipedal fluency while on-boarding new suppliers, ensuring that they adhered to our documentation policies, and managed scheduling and reporting for our workflows. As a nymph, it was admittedly sometimes difficult to be taken seriously by colleagues, a large subset of whom considered me nothing more than evidence that our shared office required fumigation, but this challenge is what spurred me to pursue APICS certification. I am happy to report that I am scheduled to take the CSCP Exam this May, and that I fully intend to pass, despite the timing with my final molt being less than ideal.

Should you be willing to hire me to work at Tollman Creamery, I can ensure physiological hardiness, circumspection, sociability, and an unkillable determination as your dedicated employee. Frankly speaking, the lifespan of my kind is only three to six months. I humbly hope you magnanimously allow me to offer my complete willingness to marry the remainder of my limited time on Earth to your enterprise. Gainful employment is the soul of persistence, and whether or not I have an immortal soul, like you, I have legs, I have eyes, I have an MBA and a beating heart, all of which want nothing more than to be put to use for the sake of security, significance, a salary, and perhaps (management willing) even an occasional sample of your product.

I thank you for your time, empathy, good-will, and consideration. Feel free to respond to me using the email address and phone number found on the header of my resume (attached). Idiomatically speaking, I hope to hear from you soon.

Kind vibrations,

Geremy Blatt
