I once hired a college student for a summer job off his cover letter. Just called him up and said the job is yours if you want it.

I posted a short description of the job on the university job page. I got inundated with long lengthy creative writing letters talking about everything but the job I was posting from hundreds of students.

He went through the requirements on the short job posting and answered each one with a short sentence and paragraph in between.

I can work weekends.

I can lift 50lbs.

I can work outdoors.

I can start at 7am and work till 4pm.

I can drive a manual transmission.

My supervisor started talking to him on his first day and stole him for 75% of the summer. I had to hire another student... Still a bit sore over that one.
