I’m a fan of you. I think you’d be a fan of me if you ever met me. I’ve compiled a list of reasons why I think I’d be a great fit at either of your companies.
\
\
1. Because I’m awesome (examples of this are found all throughout my blog; though if references are needed, I can provide them).
\
2. Because I know you desperately need female employees. Sure I’m not an engineer, but do you really want to risk losing me to Europe? I don’t think so.
\
3. I Google everything. Look at that, I even placed a link to Google in that sentence - product placement anybody?
\
4. Notice I also linked GeekSugar above. I have much love ladies, much love.
\
5. I like geeks. I think of myself as a geek. I also like sugar. Nuf said.
\
6. Yahoo who?
\
7. I am willing to ignore every ounce of self integrity and dignity to be the first to get a hold of a new phone, computer or mp3 player.
\
8. I can’t promise that I will not drool or fondle said phone, computer or mp3 player.
\
9. Conferences? I love conferences! So I’ve never been to one before - there’s a first time for everything. This shows my willingness to take one for the team and try new things!
\
10. Because Fortune said Google is the best company to work for.
\
11. I like saying “google.” Tee hee 
\
12. I’m adorable. I have a likable face. Who wouldn’t want to use Google or GeekSugar after talking to me? No one! That’s who!
\
13. I ask you why not?
\
14. I’m willing to do the dirty work (Seriously, I’ll get your coffee. I might spit it in but at least I got it!)
\
15. I’ll give you my first born.
\
16. I’d gladly sacrifice my first born for a new laptop.
\
17. Google is colorful. I’m colorful. Tis fate.
\
18. I’d love my job. I’d show up everyday…even on Christmas. I say we have a Geek holiday!
\
19. I’m good at finding random gadgets.
\
20. Because.
\
\
As you can see from the reasons listed above, it would be a pretty silly move not to hire me. After all, Europe is looking. Don’t let them snatch this fierceness from right under your nose! I’m willing to travel so you know, if you want me to move to San Francisco or something, I’m okay with that.
\
\
Sincerely,
\
Jenn
\
\
P.S. I have no problem dressing up as a giant phone or Google logo. Think about it.

I’m sure all of us from comments would be more than happy to serve as references . . .

my favorite reason:”I’m adorable. I have a likable face”

I’m thinking maybe I should start putting that on my cover letters.

Haha maybe they’ll see your post pop up in their Google Alerts and you’ll be hired!

Girl you are hilarious! I’d hire you!! A Sgt. I work with has a daughter who applied there and also for Apple. Apple replied first. She makes six figures, gets free stuff, family discount times, etc and I’m j-e-a-l-o-u-s. I know that it has been said Google has it’s own little wee “Google City”. So cool. I’ll answer their phones: “Thank you for calling GOOOOOOGGLLLLEEE how may I help you?!” *wink*

If you’re willing to dress up as a phone, I think they really should hire you!

You’re killing me here!

I hope you get hired on so you can then hire ME! My #1 reason? I once got into a yelling match with a crazy co-worker over what search engine was better. She swore yahoo… i, of course, swore google was better.
\
\
I am willing to fight to the death for you, google!

As soon as they hire me I’ll put in an excellent word for you!

Oh Jenn, you’re going to hate me on so many levels. =)
\
\
First off, I’m moving to the Bay area in a few weeks. Seriously, if you’re out there, we’ve got to meet!
\
\
Second off, I reveal a bit of my identity…well, all of it really. Here’s a conference I’m planning: http://communitynext.com.
\
One of my speakers is Brian Sugar: http://communitynext.com/speakers/#bsugar. I went after him because I *heart* GeekSugar. Can’t wait to meet him. I’ll put in a good word.
\
\
Still friends?
