Kid Sends Perfectly Blunt Cover Letter for Wall Street Internship, and Now Tons of People Are Trying to Hire Him
"Sometimes we get forwarded applications for summer internships on Wall Street that are extremely embarrassing because the applicant is totally full of themselves or completely clueless.
What happens is the letters go viral and the Street passes them around in long email chains blasting the applicant. They're always funny, but a little bit sad.
That's exactly what we thought was going to happen today when we received this one in our inbox. It turns that the cover letter originally sent to a boutique investment bank is exactly the opposite.
The cover letter below is unapologetically honest and people on Wall Street are calling it one of the best letters they have seen. Everyone on the thread agrees the letter shows energy and pluck and honesty.
First, here's the letter..."
Guaranteed that this Yahoo article will create a firestorm of "blunt" cover letters coming into every recruiting office nationwide.

This wasn't too bad... very honest and true. Wish he had spelled crap correctly though
HOLY FUCKING CHRIST
Honestly, if everyone is making that big of a deal over this, it really is kind of disappointing. I don't see what is exceptionally great about this. The number of people who could have been blunt is enormous. I'm not saying an arrogant cover letter is any better, but this one really isn't that special. Had this gone to someone different who was having a bad day, it could have gotten passed around as a ridiculous cover letter.
Just goes to prove how much luck factors into everything....
