Help Stephen!

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.
