I'm writing a application letter to show my eagerness to work at the Nordic Council of Ministers. I hate writing those things, which is ironic since I'm morbidly interested in rhetoric which is all about presentation of self. I loathe the whole exercise because it all seems like a blatant lie: I don't know what I want to do, be, make, attain - so how could I communicate the false assertiveness and drive that these letters seem to demand? By carefully tailoring the truth, that's how.
Oh yes I've always wanted to work for you ever since I heard about you last Tuesday.
