IT (Information Technology) is a powerful tool that can help those in ministry be more effective in their Kingdom-building efforts. Ministry IT is about serving, empowering, facilitating.
In these more challenging economic times and high unemployment rates, we all get some interesting resumes! We have an open position for a part-time assistant bookkeeper, and received a cute email and resume yesterday. Reading through the resume I didn't see any bookkeeping experience, so I went back to the cover letter email and enjoyed the cute innocence of what she said.
Hello, my name is Rosie [changed name] and I would like to apply for the Assistant Book Keeper Position. I've always wanted to work in a book store because I think it is a great place for me to work for a few reasons. I love to read and usually spend my free time reading, and since I would be working in a bookstore it would be a quieter environment and I'd actually be able to hear while I'm working. Also I would love to be in a position where I am helping/serving God in a way that I can.
Rosie's cute, and I loved her spirit! You can be sure I sent her a very kind email.
That is a good one for sure. I get amused also when reading resume's and during the interview process. I wonder sometimes where people come up with this stuff. I had a really funny one with a cover letter incident. See my blog at www.luija.com and click on the Lighten Up category and choose What Would You Do part 3. Thanks Nick for a great blog site. See you in Orland i hope at NACBA
