Writing cover letters to potential employers are a serious PITA for most people. I personally deal with them well, because I like that they give me an opportunity to show I’m sort of an interesting person employers might like to have around (at least I think so), in addition to being dependable with knowing the correct placement of en-dashes and em-dashes. But student graphic designer Stephen Woowat’s introductory portfolio leaves me looking like a pitiful novice who needs classes in creativity; the jobless Woowat put together an outstanding, humor-tinted package promoting himself to employers under a self-designed “Help Stephen” campaign, complete with an “appeal pack” that includes “I Helped Stephen” stickers, a badge, mug coaster and an interview appointment card. The wording isn’t unlike something you see from a non-profit organization’s solicitation to help a cause, making it all the more funnier, and all the more clever. I hope by now Woowat’s been hired as a result of his brilliant idea — I mean, look, the guy proved his worth even before you read his resume — but the rest of us should keep his address on hand just in case we hit writer’s block when applying to that dream gig.
