As a reader of many cover letters, preceding many resumes, I always enjoy amusing presentations like Jane's TOO BAD I don't have the time to interview them just for the sake of further entertainment.

The actual ocean. I think you should hire her (or at least interview her) simply for the material. A guy in my office is great to have around for this purpose alone. He referred to our boss as being "a little green around the collar", and another guy as being "so abstinent!!". These people really do have their place. Plus, you never know when you'll have to urge to take a swim. No….. this is just a drop “OF” the ocean, which means that the entirety of her experience is the whole magilla. The actual ocean.

Although she should really save it for the interview. I'll dissent. Give her a break. She thought her approach was unique. "Don't touch me, I'm a real live wire." David Byrne had no copywriting experience when he wrote that. Yes, the song was entitled "Psycho Killer"... he HAD NO COPYWRITING EXPERIENCE at the time.
