El Guapo's Guide to Getting a Job Interview with Guidespot

Top 10 reasons why Guidespot should invite me in for an interview

(10) I am a big fan of the Internets, the Google and now the Guidespot.

(9) Chicago CitySearch recently voted me the fourth best pet-friendly yoga studio in the city.

(8) As a Guidespot writing coordinator, I would promise to refrain from referring to the company as “the G-spot” even though it is ridiculously tempting.

(7) While in law school, I won the Dapper Dan award two consecutive semesters (spring ’05, fall ’06) for having the sexiest JewFro in my 2L class

(5) I love exploring odd little restauarants, bars and attractions

Here are some moderately funny restaurant and bar reviews I have written for a travel website called the froghouse

(2) I like Blogging and Bloggers LOVE me

I moved to Chicago from Southern California last year to start an online fundraising website called Giveforward.org (which is AWESOME by the way). We just launched a month ago, so that’s exciting. Among other job responsibilities, I print and hand cut our business cards, water our ficus, and most importantly walk around town in GiveForward embroidered golf-shirts.  I also write a semi-serious, mildly unfunny fundraising blog. 

Here is my most recent post discussing GiveForward’s fool-proof solution to the current economic crisis.

Sometimes when I’m tricky enough, I even swindle other bloggers into writing about us

(1) Last but not least, If you bring me in for an interview I promise to run the 2008 Chicago Marathon in a banana costume (and write a guide about it).

Well, those were 10 reasons for ya…

If you are truly looking for a “blogging and social-networking guru”, then, unfortunately, I am eminently unqualified for this position.    However, if you need a creative team member with strong writing skills, a love of all things Chicago and a knack for getting into trouble, give me a ring.  I sincerely believe I can bring some fresh ideas to the table.  At the very worst, I’ll write a great guide to running the Chi Marathon in a banana costume.  Hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

El Guapo
