So I didn't get the lead, but the David Letterman top 10 list I used to get my job here at EMG is a sure hit!

Allison Brinkman, a public relations executive, also used humor to stand out from the crowd, though less aggressively than Mr. Tsujino. After being unemployed for months, she sent a résumé last fall to the president of the Eisen Management Group in Cincinnati, who replied with this question in an e-mail message: “What can you bring to EMG and its clients?” Loath to give “the generic ‘I’m responsible and energetic’ response,” she said, she sent him a David Letterman-style Top 10 list, ending with: “No. 1: I won’t leave you alone until I’ve proved myself to be an interview-worthy candidate.”
She got the interview and the job.
