Dear HR Manager: Am I boring you?

"I recently viewed your ad for a Public Relations Account Executive. I am very interested in the position" These have got to be the 2 most boring sentences in the English language. Now don't get me wrong I am guilty of committing this cover letter sin but have become so bored with writing it I actually feel like calling and apologizing to all the HR reps.

If there's one thing I've learned in my job hunt for a public relations job in NY or NJ, it's that I must be creative. Yes I still send my resume and a cover letter but I've been determined to let my personality shine through. I have even been calling hiring managers and email PR Directors my thoughts on their most recent PR tactic.

I hope that my diligence and tenacity will soon land me the coveted interview. That's where I really shine.
