How To Succeed In The ‘Cac Without Even Trying

Attach a damn headshot.

Idk how my roommate has been sitting on this e-mail for years, but I don’t think that there’s a better way to illustrate what I’m trying to teach you: attach a headshot.

Career Planning will extol the virtues of a well-formatted resume and punchy cover letter, admissions will say “be genuine,” but it’s that black and white 8×10 that’ll get you in the door.

Even if you’re halfway cute…even, I dare say, if you are only a QUARTER cute.

Heyy!

So you seemed pretty startled when I came up to you last night…does that usually happen when someone introduces themselves????

Haha Im only kidding, of course, I would have done the same thing.

I do think you are “half way” cute though haha and dont regret being forward as Im rarely ever at ['Cac school] on the weekends

That said I get back from boston sunday and would love to meet for a coffee if for nothing more than to clear up the wrong impression you probably have of me.

Let me know if your not totally opposed to it. Ill promise you this time you’ll actually be able to hear what i say.

Best,

XXXX

Pic is attached so you can remember who the hell i am haha
