    Well someone had a thesaurus handy…

    My favorite part is “…can perform basic office functions with terrifying efficiency”. I laughed so hard at that point. Although there are countless don'ts in this letter, I bet a firm will pick him up just because this stands out and is so bold.

    I could use a good laugh and from your comments it sure sounds interesting.

    That's the way I read it and that's the version that's more entertaining to me so, yes.

    LOL mla!

    The way I see it is if you need to put in a disclaimer saying you're not a braggart, then you're being a braggart. Just the way some obnoxious people feel the need to announce they're “good people”. If you're “good people” you don't need to announce it, people around you will pick up on it if you truly are good.

    He got a 3.9 because he sounds like a very book smart kid (e.g. multiple computer languages) who unfortunately has the social skills of a cucumber.

    Shame really, college will force you to take a lot of crap you'll never use (e.g. liberal arts courses) but a valuable course this kid obviously desperately needs like a business networking class is almost never offered.
