Hey now, Let's not be to critical.
Maybe she has been down and out recently and really needs a break.
Her application was a shout out for some sympathy, and she needs a job
real bad. In my time i've written some pretty shameless cover letter's
to try to whine or sop my way in. It's never worked though. Once when I applied for a job at a museum in town I lied on the cover letter saying that
I had recently lost everything in a fire and life was really tough. Hey I needed a job and I had already been looking for months, the work was just dried up, not that i'm exactly what all employers are looking for
,but still...
I'd hire her!
