Cover Letters for Klingons

by Rob Schaeffer

Here is my cover letter as if I had written it for a job with the Klingon Empire:

Greetings Warrior Recruitment Officer!

I demand you tell me more about the position of software engineer and bug destroyer. I have the blood of many software bugs on my hands from years as a code warrior! I have also constructed many applications that combine the strength of tempered steel with the usability of a well balanced knife.

At my last job, before they launched an assault on Atlanta where I was unable to follow due to my duties and commitments of honor here in New Hampshire, I was the project leader of a squad of fellow code warriors. I helped with the planning of various missions and tracked their execution! We tasted many victories together!

I also co-ordinated communications with other divisions of this mighty army, from scouts whose job it was to locate bugs (which I then slaughtered), to those who spread the word to mere civilians of our accomplishment.

At my assignment before that, I brought their communications systems up to standards allowing military supplies to be distributed more efficiently!

And before that, I worked in a battle station maintaining security and surveillance infrastructure to only allow those with the proper clearance access within.

Currently I am honing my skills in a variety of warrior arts, with missions of my design to increase my skills and honor!

I am looking for an assignment that will allow me to analyze the enemy’s weaknesses and strike with minimal effort for the greater good of the Empire! I have great patience and skill, like the stalking tiger waiting for its prey.

I have included my service record which contains specific details of my victories.

Respond soon. It will be glorious!
