MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Sort of thing always comes up well on STW. Applying for job in an industry I'm quite interested in (think CRC, Ribble type business) How best to say "I like bikes!" without sounding like a dimwit? Job is nothing to do with the bike selling side of things, but that might make it more fitting to myself than a online ladies underwear shop, for example.
thanks!
"I am a keen cyclist but definitely not a dimwit sort of bike liker and rate bikes more than ladies underwear"
HTH.
Dude,
I'd be totally stoked if you would give me, like,  a  job or something in your gnarly enterprise.
I'd need to be finished by 2 o'clock every day so that I can hit those trails.
Boomshanka!

Excellent. Copy & paste! 😀
Some more serious advice - start with the core skills for the role (eg I am an experienced manager/salesperson/widget whittler with x years experience using y tools/methods and have achieved salesperson of the year/huge profits for my employers/delivered project on time and budget.
Then give some of the personal stuff e.g. a keen biker - but explain what this means (I ride once a week for 10 miles or I enter 10-15 competitions per year and have recently achieved a top 3 podium finish in a national event).
Finally add some general blurb thanking them for their consideration and you look forward to hearing from them soon.
Don't over think it
