Dear HR,My name is Jacqueline, I'm a new graduate RN with some experience in a hospital. I am writing to inquire about relocation opportunities. I know there are many applicants with far superior qualifications, but let's be honest....Everyone starts somewhere. This isn't the typical or most prudently appropriate cover letter to a potential employer, but I am vehemently seeking employment outside this overly saturated piece of peninsula called south Florida. There is currently over 1,000 ungodly priced 'prestigious' colleges furiously pumping out 6,287,683,278 new graduate nurses PER HOUR. Unbeknownst to me, I am baffled as to how can there be no available jobs in my area... So I decided there might be a hemorrhoid occluded pinhole glimmer of shining hope if I apply to another state far far away. I am aware every company takes a risk hiring new employees, but rest assured I'm a very direct, very honest and awe striking zealous person. If you have any available positions for such impressive qualities please feel free to email me back. Thank you.
