My funny, yet perfect cover letter for a web developer position

Dear John Smith,

I'M SPIDER-MAN! [In a deep voice]

Ok, I'm not Spider-man, but I am a web developer... eh.. eh??

All joking aside, like Spider-man, I swing into action when problems arise. With great programming skills, comes great responsibility... Too much!?

With nearly a decade of hands-on expertise in front-end development, I also have the problem-solving, quality control, and organizational skills that you’re looking for.

Utilizing these skills, I recently created a new web application and framework for Playhaven which allows users to manage their campaigns, creatives, and budgets for their ads in the network, using JavaScript, HTML, CSS and RESTful API’s.

I’ve also lead development teams and consistently decreased engineering time and costs by introducing similar industry best practices, at my previous jobs.

I’m very excited for the position and can’t wait to meet the rest of the team. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your phone call.

Sincerely,

Your friendly neighborhood Andrew Maxwell!
