Cover Letter

Here is an example of an awesome cover letter...

Attention Human Resources:

It is an exceptional feat to walk into the boss’s office on an interview and solicit yourself.  In essence, that is what happens when I step foot into any position that I am applying for.  It is clear that my present supervisor’s have faith in my work ethic.  More importantly, they believe in my ability to develop both a meaningful and successful outcome. Additionally it has more to do with my endless enthusiasm for creating meaningful relationships that add value to both my company and clientele.

For the past five years I have had the pleasure of having a full time position in the workforce directly after graduating from college. I transition very well as both an insurance agent and a mentor with my degree in psychology.  It has been a rewarding experience working in both realms of the business.  However, I am seeking a higher level of responsibility and stability that I believe your company can provide. I anticipate relocating to your company to advance my career.  I also plan to pursue advanced insurance titles in the future.

As an addition to your team, I am confident that I can hit the ground running with little formal training.  I am a fast learner and quite detail oriented.  I adjust well to new environments and meet every challenge with wit and creativity. I have experience in sales, claims, event planning, project research and development and creating and executing various types of outreach initiatives. 

I would like to learn more about your organization and identify how my qualifications would be a great fit. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Honey Bii

Dear Honey Bii, Day 8

Dear Honey Bii, Day 8,

This letter is a lot a bit late. My apologies Honey Bii followers.

To Do List


#1. Revise Resume

#2. Write out wish list

#3. Pack apartment

#4. Send graduation announcements


I don’t like change. I don’t like self-adulation. I don’t like not knowing. I don’t like goodbyes. Revising my resume, writing a wish list, packing my apartment, and sending graduation announcements is basically asking me to do all the things I don’t like to do. Therefore I dragged my FAWKING Rockstar butt on these tasks. As a matter of fact a completed the tasks in my mind two weeks ago and was going to write about my mental experience. But decided against this, as it wouldn’t be right to lie threw my teeth.

#1. So at last my resume is revised. I’ve applied to five companies. And what do you know I have received one phone interview scheduled for next week #winning.

#2. I completed my wish list and here it is.

1. Creed Love-In-White perfume at www.neimanmarcus.com

2. Aphrochic : (2) Brookyln Life Outdoor pillows, (2) Park Slope pillows, and /or Booklynn Life Shower curtain at http://www.aphrochicshop.com/

3. Sex and the City Complete Collection (Deluxe Edition)

4. A seven day six night all expenses paid trip to Miami!

5. A Mac laptop

6. 4 dozen roses delivered to my front door

7. A great pair of running shoes

8. Rebel Flower perfume by Rihanna

9. 6 beautiful bracelet

10. An aloe plant

#3. This symbolic whipper snapper is so fawking scary I think I wet myself just a little every time I put something in a box. I mean I can’t stand the fear that suffocates me while I pack my apartment. I looooooooooooooooooooooove this apartment and by looooooooooooooooooove, I mean looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove this apartment. It is a super chic, vintage –charmed home that gave me refuge, comfort, and joy. But now I am moving. Where? I have know idea. Being the free spirit that I am I decided to take an intermission on life’s responsibility and couch surf for the summer. I made this decision for several reasons:

1. I plan on so much FAWKING rockstar traveling it would be absolutely ridiculous to pay a full month‘s rent to store my things. (Miami, LA, New York, DC, & Texas here I come)

2. I need a break from responsibility. My life is so tight wound that I have to schedule bone a week or two in advance (I’m not kidding and this fact is not cute).

3. I am preparing my bank account for the monthly $1500 invest –in-myself- withdrawal also know as my student loan payment. Yes folks, I am a first-generation, private school educated, two –degree having mortgage payment owing FAWKING Rockstar!!!!!! While I prepare my checking account for this withdrawal, I feel good knowing that my only bill for the next three months is my $75.00 sprint bill. Yes folks no credit card debt because I learned something in my eight years of training, that is: credit cards = slavery i.e not Free Flowers.

#4. Last but certainly not least send my graduation announcements to friends and family. There is nothing more nerve-racking for me than preparing a celebration for myself. This might have something to do with the fact that the last time I did, Honey Bii went ape shit and ruined my party (yeah I just did that) but more likely it's because I never learned how to celebrate my excellent. Something about it makes me feel guilty. However I am realizing that I deserve this celebration. This is a huge feat for both me and my family and it is worth all the tigers-jumping-through-rings-of-fire that I can produce. With that being said announcements are out, hotels are booked, parties are confirmed and the guest list in mounting. Thanks guys for your love and support on this one I seriously couldn’t have done it without you.


I’m getting my Masters!!!!! Tink tink tink boom pow … whoooooooa lawd this is incredible!

Dear Honey B, Day 7

To Do List

1. Monday’s are always the longest day start it right… cup of coffee

2. Work with a great attitude

3. Cook a whole hearty meal

Happy Happy Monday Honey Bii followers!!!!!! It’s Monday and I am so excited! I am seven days into the Honey Bii experiment and loving every single second of it. The biggest revelation thus far has been realizing that every little thing is “really” gonna be alright! Day 1 through Day 7 have coaxed my mind out of mild insanity (i.e. doing the same thing over and over yet expecting a different result) and reset my heart to accept change.

When I began this experiment I thought it was going to be late nights and early morning or partying like a FAWKING RoCKSTAR every night. But nope. Surprise! Honey Bii advised things like: make your bed, have a good day, skip to the mailbox, and read a poem. Little things that make everyday a little brighter. I know her advice will stay beyond 10 days and I am grateful to her for extending this level of care and concern.

In the spirit of Honey Bii I will share 10 “little” things that have brightened my day today.

1. I woke up this morning with a genuine smile

2. Last night I cried because my heart opened up

3. My family and I are in good health

4. I am employed

5. I love my job

6. My nails are polished and super cute

7. My friends are great

8. I’ll eat Five Guys for lunch

9. I’m wearing new shoes

10. Honey Bii cares about Me *tear

If your reading this and you want your day to be a little brighter I encourage you to write out ten little things and share them with the Honey Bii Comments Community!

XOXO

P.S. #1, #2, and #3 done, done and done!

Dear Honey B, Day 6

Task List

1. Party like a fawking ROCKSTAR
2. Wear some bad ass shoes and work it girl *no panties
3. FLIRT FLIRT FLIRT
4. FAWKING ROCKSTAR DRINKS… ONLY
5. DANCE

My sweet sweet Honey B this is exactly what I am talking about. Getting to the fun fun fun…pausing on the deep stuff here and here and swimming in shallow waters. Upward and onward toward ABSOLUTE madness and oh happy days! First things first no jealous chickens allowed! This night was about me and me only so my crew had to be bad, bold, and beautiful. Mission accomplished as I went out with my girls @Diva_Bri and @ OMG_its_Steph. Badass shoes were suggested so I went with my BADASSS Steven Maddens, thanks Steve you’re a gem! Then there were the FAWKING Rockstar drinks, Goose Rocks and Patron Shots oh my! I’d be remised if I didn’t mention that the menz involved in my ROCKSTAR evening included a rare breed of 6 foot 5 inches or taller ball players (and by ball players I mean professional ball players) from around the country!

We started out at a private event hosted by [insert ball player] at Le MEze and were quickly escorted to VIP. Once nestled in our dimly lit section, drinks were offered by an attentive waitress (seriously she did a great job). “I’ll have a Goose on the rocks with a lemon please”. Followed by a Patron shot no lime bytches!!! I started dancing and then it was like every song was my soooooooooooooong! How did the DJ know I don’t keep up with music so he need only play a mix of the top 10 and then anything from 1995 to like 2002 and I can sing along! THROUGOUT the night I found myself completely void of any inhibitions. At one point in the evening this conversation occurred…

Me: [dancing dancing]

Random Dude: [grabs my ROCKSTAR waist] and says “You ma Queen, I own this!" [referencing my gluteus maximous]

Me: “You Don’t Own Shit!”

Random Dude: “Okay okay lets start over..”

Me: “Okay okay lets start never”!

Random Dude: “Why you being so difficult”

Me: [intense eye contact] “Cuz I’m a FAWKING ROCKSTAR!” [takes PATRON shot then poses for several pictures]

Fast forward to the after hours spot and I’m drunk. Pull up to the club leave a couple hundreds at the door and enjoy enjoy enjoy. My only blunder the whole evening was this run in I had with an ice cube. The ice cube won as I landed flat on my ass with my legs crossed. How? I don’t flippin know. I don’t even remember getting up on my own. All I remember is being swooped up by two big men and I was back on my feet walkin-it-out! AAAAAAAAAAAaayeeeeeeee!!!! It was like it never happened except it did *tee hee.

Breakfast was next, then several number exchanges, dates made and 40 minutes of sleep. #boom pow. My night was over and it was time to go to work.

All in all Honey B, this was an incredible night. I realized that having a ROCKSTAR night needs to be the rule and not the exception. Doing ROCKSTAR things wasn’t about letting myself go so much as it was about being myself. I FLIRT like a FAWKING RoCKSTAR cuz I’m a Gemini and this ish turns me on! I dance like a FAWKING RoCKSTAR cuz I don’t really care what anybody else thinks. I drink like a FAWKING RoCKSTAR cuz well have we met… My name is Free_Flowers!

It was great to be reminded of these facts! Here are a few more for those of you trying to keep up.

INSERT: ROCKSTAR alter ego

FACTS:
1. I drink ma GOOSE on the ROCKS and get fist bumps from ball playas
2. I ROCK a bald head beautifully
3. Big ROCKS and shiny things make me happy
4. I ROCK to my own beat in VIP
5. I like ma eggs over hard…FAWKING RoCKSTAR!

FICTION:
1. I wore panties
2. I didn’t fall at all
3. The paparazzi couldn’t find me
4. You da only one
5. The next day I did that ish again!

XOXO

XOXO Honey Bii

Dear Honey Bii, Day 5

To Do List

1. Relax

2. Read

3. Set up a date

#1 Asking me to relax after Day 4's sucker punch revelation, is likened to requesting that I stop breathing. Read: virtually impossible. Day 4’s revelation is coming up against some serious resistance as I DON’T WANT TO HURT. Denial was comfortable. I’m not comfortable anymore. I feel agitated and disgusting. Agitated in my heart and disgusted with my delayed response to reality. So relax … umm I don’t exactly know what that means. My best relaxants are journaling, reading, and bathing. I took a bath, read the first chapter of my book “I Love You and I’m Leaving You Anyway” by Tracy McMillian, and wrote a few lines of really bad poetry.

#2 I’ve started reading my book which I guess has helped me to relax. Ms. McMillian laugh out loud writing style is just wonderful. In the first chapter she compares her father’s latest phone call from prison to an experience she has with a bi-polar ex-husband requesting a second chance. It was a captivating and soul stirring first chapter. This chapter has helps me to realize that my problems are relative to this particular time period in life and over time my issue will not appear as gargantuan in size.

#3 I’ll call my Blues Brotha to see if he’d be interested in the most spectacular evening of his life!

I appreciate your advice Honey Bii… keep it coming I feel myself getting bold, beautiful, and boned in the near future!!!

XOXO

Dear Honey B, Day 4

Dear Honey B, Day 4

To do List

1. Release J

I know you suggested that I be all zen, while I release J, but clearly that has not worked in the last few years so I’m going to try something different. I am going to publicly process my anger (the second stage of grief) and then work my way up to the final stage (i.e. acceptance-zen-release). Why grief, well because that is what I need to do. I lost J, not to death but death in my life and the life we had planned.When you publicly requested that I release him I was humiliated and enraged. I damn near threw my computer across the room after I read the first line and then cursed you (Honey B) for bringing it up in this forum. I mean this experiment is suppose to be fun. Why are you having me deal with this stuff… tear tear shaking shaking rolling tears. Gasp!!!! However, what is beautiful about your request is that I can't be in denial (first stage) anymore and I've moved forward to anger (second stage whop whop!)

I guess a little background is in order so here goes: Boy meets girl. Boy and girl date and enjoy magical experiences together. Boy supports girl. Girl supports boy. Two happy years pass. Then boy leaves girl without a single word.

Now that you know what happened lets move forward to an important truth.That is, I never really ever got mad at J for leaving. I mean sure I was disappointed and hurt. But never not once have I been angry with him. And because I never got angry I never disconnected from him or said NO! STOP! ENOUGH! Anger helps us all to say STOP this is enough. Anger unexpressed however always (yes always) leads to depression (i.e. anger turned inward on yourself). I hadn’t considered myself depressed because I wasn’t medicated but spiritually, mentally and physically I’m depressed*. I’ve depressed my faith, my action, and my body to the point that I’m not living free. So I’m going to follow your advice while I express out loud the second stage of grief so that I might lift myself out of this depressed state of being.

Onward with my anger…

Dear J,

FUCK YOU! I can’t fucking believe that you put me in this royally FUCK UP place. I fucking loath the day you entered my life with your smuge attitude and dorky demeanor. Sometimes I wish extreme amounts of hardship and heartache on your life but then I stop myself and remember that the pain of being you…. Waking up everyday and living you… looking in the mirror and seeing you… and walking around as you is pain enough because at the end of the day you ain’t shit. Yeah I said ain’t with my two-degree having ass. YOU AIN’T SHIT!!!!! One day you’ll amount to something but for right now YOU AIN’T SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being the BIG PIECE OF SHIT that you are, my judgment must have been severely clouded the day I let you into my life. Because… you are weak, self-righteous, and full of shit! Plus, you can’t protect me, OBVIOUSLY!!!!!! And just because your son’s mother is a fucking SOCIOPATH doesn’t take you off the hook for the fact that you didn’t protect me! Oh, leaving me was suppose to be your way to protect me… please cry me a FUCKING river weaksauce! Grab that BItCH by her throat and choke her till she understands that messing with other peoples lives is not okay! Better yet get your shit together well enough so you can eradicate her from your life. But no that would be to fucking easy huh?

Nope you chose instead to FUCKING DISAPPEAR, YOU FUCK FACE! What kind of cowardly-lion-Wizard-of-Oz-alternate-universe did I get myself trapped into with you? I HATE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY SOUL FOR THIS! This one conscious action. Your Wesley Snipes-Sanaa Lathan disappearing act is the FUCKING reason why I can’t seem to let your wretched as go. Because it boggles my fucking mind that you could know my deepest, darkest, private everything… and demonstrate it in a single act of I-don’t-give-a-flying-fuck-about Free_Flowers’s fears, hopes, or dreams. FUCK YOU…You mutherfucker you. I FUCKING HATE YOUR ASS WITH A FIERCE KIND OF PASSION.

Because of you I don’t, won’t, can’t trust others. Because of you I run around signing myself up for experiments and shit just to get my fucking hope back! Because of you I let that BITCH (REINE) come in and squat right smack in the middle of my life. Because of you I’ve become a MUTHA-FUCKING FOOL!

I don’t need this shit in my life.

It’s over asshole… its so over we need a new word for this shit…how about FUCK YOU!!

Truly,

Anger Free_Flowers

Oh yeah… and I hope she cheats on you with a basketball playa *marsha ambriosu and gives you gonorrhea so you burn from the inside out for a least 10 days! Asshole!

*Please note I did not say clinically depressed because this condition is very serious and requires immediate medical attention.

Dear Honey B, Day 3

Dear Honey B, Day 3

1. Read my book
2. Call a friend
3. Remind myself of my goals
4. Skip to the Mailbox
5. Meditate or journal before bed

#1 Amazon has not delivered my book so this one is coming soon.

#2 I called a friend (Jen). It was spectacular!!! When I got to her apartment (my future digs), Superman (Josh) was there and he was painting her walls. I know it sound like I’m insinuating something but I’m not, Superman was painting Jen’s walls a turquoise color and I was captivated by the ease of it all. So, for an hour and a half I marveled at Superman go up and down, up and down until the entire room was painted a beautiful shade of turquoise. After that, we all got out the house and went to an amazing BBQ restaurant (Lillie’s) on Wolcott & North Avenue. We ate, we laughed, and we drank! It was so much fun!!!!

#3. Reflecting on my goals for the Honey B Experiment I feel confident in my decision to set them and reach them over the next 10 days. At first I thought it would be impossible to achieve what I wanted but, so far in following Honey B’s advice I’ve realized these goals have always been within reach. I just got lazy about my life. I started waiting for things to happen instead of getting and making things happen in my life. Four days in to our experiment and I am in awe at how little things have transformed my life. For example making my bed every morning not only starts my day off right but it gives me comfort and security at night. When I leave my house in the morning it’s tidy and when I come home and climb into the bed (naked) at night; my pillows are fluffy, my sheets are crisp and my comforter is rapturous. Every night I get to start over again. New day… new opportunity. Beautiful... just beautiful.

#4 Okay so the mailbox thing is growing on me since I’m skipping and all *smile. Funny thing is my Pastor said in a recent sermon that we should stop accepting things in the mail that don’t belong to us. He literally said “hit that piece of mail with a return to sender label and be done with it”. I release my old fear of my mailbox because now I can and will hit that piece of mail with a return to sender label and be done with it. Thanks Pastor Martin, Thanks B.

#5 I journal pretty much every night so tonight I will meditate on how I am going to accomplish the tasks outlined in day 4.

Stay tuned…

XOXO

Day 5 With Free Flowers

Today is the fifth day of the experiment. Again here are the daily things that I want Free Flowers to do.

• Wake up naked. She was instructed to sleep in the nude. The purpose is to feel free. I love sleeping in the nude.
• Make up your BED. It is probably the simplest thing that you can do productively start your day.
• PUT ON CLOTHES. Not just any old outfit. An outfit that you would wear if you knew that you were meeting someone important. The purpose of putting on clothes is to feel great.
• Look up a quote from Maya Angelou. Recite it.
• Be productive. Plan each day. Routine equals stability.

Here is what I want to be accomplished for day 5

• Make sure that you take some time for relaxation. I want your mind to be at ease. Whatever you do as a stress reliever do that. 

• Read (I know that I don't have to tell you that since I know that you love reading already).

• The main thing that I want you to do is get ready for FRIDAY!!!!!!!! Friday set up a date. Not just any old date. Set up a date when you are treated just exactly how you want. No lowering your expectations. Go to the restaurant that you have always wanted to go to. Have your door opened. Flirt over a glass of wine. DO THE DANG THANG!!!!!

Dear Honey B, Day 1.5

XOXO Free Flowers

P.S. Best Advice ever!!!! Thanks Honey B

Day 4 With Free Flowers

Today is the fourth day of the experiment. Again here are the daily things that I want Free Flowers to do.

• Wake up naked. She was instructed to sleep in the nude. The purpose is to feel free. I love sleeping in the nude.
• Make up your BED. It is probably the simplest thing that you can do productively start your day.
• PUT ON CLOTHES. Not just any old outfit. An outfit that you would wear if you knew that you were meeting someone important. The purpose of putting on clothes is to feel great.
• Look up a quote from Maya Angelou. Recite it.
• Be productive. Plan each day. Routine equals stability.

Here is what I want to be accomplished for day 4

• Today is a day of cleansing again. I want you to release J. Yes. I know that this will probably be the hardest thing to do. Release yourself and him. You are still attached emotionally. I really believe that when you put thoughts in the universe then the other person feels it. I want you to start with saying the thoughts about him at this current time out loud. Tell him how you met. Tell him how you loved. Tell him how he impacted your life. Now tell him how you love him enough to release him from the thoughts that you think of him often in the universe. Now BREATHE. It's gonna be ok. This is a time when you are going to move on. To 100% be the woman that you are supposed to be. 

• Do something nice for yourself. Some ideas are taking a bath, buying your favorite dish, or buying some pretty shoes. You deserve it. 

XOXO Honey Bii

Dear Honey B, Day 2

Dear Honey B, Day 2

To Do List

1. Sleep naked

2. Make bed

3. Pick out a Great Book

#3. Excuse me Honey B, but I don’t think you understand how much I love reading. As I reflect on the kinds of books I read*, I realize I’m a non-fiction girl. I’ll read the occasionally life-altering-mind-blogging fiction such as Ishmael and The Story of B by Daniel Quinn or The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Sometimes I’ll even enjoy a little fantasy likeTwilight Saga by Stephaine Meyer. But I always find the most pleasure and delight with non-fiction. My favorite non-fiction books are: The Princessa: Machiavelli for Women by Harriet Rubin, Seth Speaks by Jane Roberts, You Can Heal Your Life by Lousie L. Hay, The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama and Excuses Begone by Dr. Wayne Dyer these books give me life. My guilty pleasures are non-fiction relationship how-to guides (Keeping the Love you Find by Dr. Harville Hendrix) or memoirs (Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert). I also really enjoy spiritual text like A Conversation with God by Neale Donald Walsh and A Course in Miracles.

Book selections on my SPRING reading list include: The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz (Self-Help/Spiritual), Your Degrees Won’t Keep You Warm at Night by Damon Young and Panama Jackson (A relationship/dating/how to guide), I Love You and I’m Leaving You Anyway by Tracy McMillian (A Memoir about relationships), Our Kinds of People by Lawrence Otis Graham (A portrait of the black elite), and Tiger Mom by Amy Chua (A memoir about parenting). Each book will be read before the end of spring but which do I choose today?

Drum roll please … I am going to go with … I Love You and I’m Leaving You Anyway by Tracy McMillian. The whys will be answered later but for right now read into the title as much as you want because it just might make my reasons pretty obvious *smile.
