Cover Letter Dissonance

Welcome back from the long weekend.  Let’s start this day with a strange closing from a cover email:

I possess SELF-ASSURANCE that naturally helps me to form conclusions, make decisions and act

Excellence, not average, is my measure. As a MAXIMIZER I enjoy transforming something strong into something superb.

As an ACTIVATOR I cannot wait to start a task. I am eager for action.

If you€™re interested in talking please email…

If there was any momentum in the cover email, it was stripped away with that last line.  It is a subtle, but salient point - asking for an email to talk is a bit passive for an “ACTIVATOR.”
