After years of taking worthless classes like Sociology of Organizations, many of us are close to the end of our time at college. As seniors, we’re all clamoring for a select number of jobs.

Almost as hard as trying to get through an entire episode of New Girl without rolling your eyes or screaming that the joke about Jay Cutler was neither timely nor accurate.

Thankfully for you, I’m here to make at least one aspect of your hunt easier. What follows is my recommendation for the cover letter you should send to your dream company, and while it’s largely fill-in-the-blank, I’ve also included my own answers because I love bragging.
