How about "I believe my skill set, passion, and work ethic match your requirements perfectly"

[OnTheWarpath15]

Veeery niiice.

Might just do that.

How about "I believe my skill set, passion, and work ethic match your requirements perfectly"

Precisely how I was going to word it.

"...and I think your requirements and my skill-set, passion, and work ethic are a perfect match."

Even though you can get away without the comma here, the guy reading this may be more of a contrarian when it comes to such rules.

How about "I believe my skill set, passion, and work ethic match your requirements perfectly"

Nice, Mr. milkman. But, how about; "I believe my skill set, passion, and work ethic match your requirements perfectly assuming you don't have high expectations and I won't be required to come into work if I have a hangover or if I smoked too much weed the night before and just feel a little tired, and your daughter likes to do the big nasty in the back seats of cabs."

I would not use the word perfect. I would probably use excellent fit or something like that. I just think it sounds more professional. But that is based on my limited experience.

What job are you applying for? <--assumption made here

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I think you're pretty good as long as you go with are. Maybe,

My skill set, passion, and work ethic would be an asset to your company, and exactly what you're looking for in filling this position.

Of course, that's presuming that you want to come off extremely confident, and sure of yourself. That wouldn't be a good angle in some positions, or with some hiring managers. Depends on the job, and the person screening.

[banyon]

Yeah, make sure you don't hyphenate "skill set" as well.

I don't think anyone has said this directly.

... and I think your requirements and my skills, passion and work ethic match exceptionally well.

I try to take the awkwardness of the vowel out of the sentence all together.

[cdcox]

Like a flower need the rain, you know you need me.

[DeezNutz]

Could be more parallel in structure.

Try: skills, passion, diligence/determination/etc.

"Perfect" is a bit much..."are a strong match." Don't need very, really, or the like. No need to be emphatic.

[blueballs]

I want to know how your ass tastes

[smittysbar]

or this

"you don't have random piss tests, do you?"

[Rain Man]

"...and I think my skills, passion, and work ethic are a perfect match for the requirements of your job."

You're a match for them, not them being a match for you. Big difference.


Or alternately,

"Hire me or I'll stand in the rain outside your bedroom window and watch you, slowing building an insane rage as I watch you live the life that I should have, that I would have if not for you and your snobby, unfair hiring practices."

[FAX]

How about ...

"I got skills. You got jobs. Do I need to paint you a friggin' picture here?"

[Rain Man]

Or maybe, "I want you...I need you...but there ain't no way I'm ever going to love you. But don't feel bad, don't feel bad, 'cause two out of three ain't bad."

If you can get a couple of women to sing that second 'don't feel bad', it would probably have more impact.

[J Diddy]

or this

"you don't have random piss tests, do you?"
