The Comedy Central gig

 

 

You can't say that I don't pay attention to the existential present and future of LifeT!Lt's readers, their personal development, and that beyond physical training and education for a healthy lifestyle, I don't do everything for their professional advancement as well. Adri has been a reader of LifeT!Lt since the beginning, because if I remember correctly, I suggested to her back in early January the idea of starting a blog about my workouts and documenting them continuously. Adri is about to finish college soon and will soon step into the swamp of employment, which millions have already drowned in, but if she climbs high enough on the corporate ladder, with a little luck, she might even be able to get out of it.

Adri set her sights on this fantastic position, and she asked me to write her cover letter because she couldn't think of anything special, and she didn't want to send a generic template text, and that's just endlessly pathetic anyway, so she entrusted me with writing the letter... 

 

Dear Comedy Central, Dear Sir/Madam,

I am aware that it is highly probable that your HR lady is also a 23-year-old fresh graduate, who has as much connection to her profession as Zoltán Maksa has to modern humor, but I still hope that my CV and cover letter will be read by an expert. This way, I will have the opportunity for an interview, within the framework of which I can convince you why I would be the most ideal for a job that even someone who just walked in off the street could probably do.

 

 

Paying bills and rent makes me incredibly motivated, although I don't know what level of motivation is required for an intern position to be capable of performing the tasks. I would like to ask for your help in the endless struggle to overcome the subsistence threshold, and believe me, I will be maximally indebted if I can be financially dependent on you, and I can give you my freedom and my abandoned dreams.

 

My salary expectation is the usual. I don't expect miracles, as we live in Hungary, which means, as everywhere, I assume the "reported for minimum wage, the rest in cash" compensation system operates at your company as well, so starting from this, or precisely because of this, I am flexible regarding salary, as in all cases that occur with the complete exclusion of APEH.

 

I await your response in the hope of positive feedback, I have attached my CV.

 

Sincerely:

Adrienn Ferenczi

I believe I have done everything for a successful application, the rest is up to Adri, but I am curious if there is truly a cool, trendy, laid-back team working behind MTVE-VIVA-Comedy Central as the channel suggests, or if that relaxed, cool atmosphere only prevails in the marketing department's meeting rooms, because in real life, in decision-making positions, there are actually only bland, uninspired people. In any case, Adri's application was accepted, if there's any development, I'll update the story.
