I'm sending out lots of resumes and cover letters these days and I keep finding myself wanting to break out of the mold of boring adjectives--dynamic, organized, team-player--and write things like "smart and sexy," "a dry, intellectual wit," and "has good teeth." I really think that if they're as nit-picky as all the resume guides say they are then they should care that I have good teeth.
