Relationship Application
Want a relationship? Tired of those juvenile relationship-seeking profiles? Here's the professional way to apply for a relationship. Use this relationship resume blueprint I came up with to find the employer of your dreams!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cover Letter:
Your cover letter should include a brief description of why you are seeking this position, and why you are best-suited for it. Indicate if you're interested in a full time or part time position. Also indicate if you are or will be holding another position concurrently with another employer. If you can, also state your long-term educational and professional goals, as this may be an important decision factor for many long-term employers. Be sure to include the best most recent picture of yourself.
Contact Information:
Your Name
Local address
Home phone number
Cell Phone number
Primary Email address
Instant Messenger(s): Screen name
Objective:
What do you wish to accomplish through this application? What are your long-term goals?
Education:
Please indicate the highest level of education which you have achieved. If you have a school GPA and/or have taken standardized or IQ tests, consider including these as well. Keep in mind that education preference will vary between employers.
Experience:
Please list and briefly describe your relevant experiences. Include date of employment, name of employer, type of relationship, duties and responsibilities. Be aware that too much experience can count against you with some employers, but do not lie - honesty is the best policy.
Skills and Qualifications:
You know what to do here ;) Describe your skills and qualifications in an organized, professional manner. Be sure to include personal attributes and qualities that employers may find attractive. Are you able to work in a team? Your working hours? Your flexibility? Do you cook? Clean? Drive? All of these things may be major turn-ons or turn-offs for employers.
Activities and Interests:
This may seem like an innocuous section of the application, but it is actually quite dangerous. An employer may look at this section and be thrilled that you share common interests, in which case you're lucky. An employer may also look at this section and be disappointed by the lack of common ground, or by activities which he/she may regard with a negative bias. Pre-judgement in this section may land your application in the trash even before your potential employer gets to know you as a person. Therefore, it's safest to avoid listing too many hobbies. Instead, include only a select few which are the most important for you to share with (or be accepted by) your employer.
Brief Description: (For the picky, biased, or racist employer)
Essential (most employers will want these): DOB, Height/Weight, Ethnicity.
Optional: Associations, Religious Views, Political Affiliation, Other Distinctions.
References:
List your 3 best references, if applicable. If you do not have any past employers, list friends. Do not list relatives.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interview:
If your potential employer is interested, he may invite you to an interview. Dress appropriately, and remember to smile. Do not bring up the subject of money, as that will almost certainly be regarded negatively. If you are treated to a business lunch, offer to pay but do not insist. Avoid pressuring your potential employer into making a decision during the first interview, and be wary of any immediate offer; your potential employer may be inexperienced or desperate.
That's it! Good luck!
