... I wrote up my formal proposal for a research project. Trying to {further} justify myself as a worthwhile hire.
*fingers crossed*

So, they didn't reject you outright because of your facial mullet. That's a good sign.

Did you use "very" a bunch of times in your proposal. You should, you know. It will show them you are very, very, very excited about the project. and stuff.

Terminating every sentence with an exclamation point always helps!! See what I mean!!! I learned this from Julie Louis-Dreyfus! |

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD JUST PUT YOUR CAPS LOCK ON WHLE WRITING THE PROPOSAL AND END EACH SENTENCE WITH EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!! COUPLE IT WITH A LOT OF "VERY'S" AND YOU ARE YELLING YOU ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT THE POSITION.
NOTHING SAYS "I'M YOUR MAN" LIKE EXCITED YELLING!!!
OH, GO BACK OVER ALL YOUR "I's" DRAW A HEART OVER THEM!!!

Stegerman, that is awful advice. Dotting a capitalized "i" is crippling to one's chances.
I'd pepper the proposal with leet. Be more sparing with the emoticons, though.
When you hand it in, be sure to do that gay Minnesota finger-point thing. In the face of that, not even Argonne can stay inert.

I meant it more along the lines of self-love...."I" love myself. Demonstrates self-confidence. Good catch on the l33t. |

Oooh, I just thought of one that was KILLER for me with my law school applications: Lay the proposal papers out on your bedroom floor, then assemble them into the submission package. Here's the key: be sure to trap a stray pube or two between some pages.
BAM, I was in! They must have figured I was Supreme Court material.
