Hemingway makes
your writing bold and
clear.
• Is your name Wi-Fi? Cause I’m feeling a connection coming on…
• Is your name Waldo? Because someone like you is hard to find.
• Are you a magician? Because whenever I read your Tweets about
cybersecurity everyone else disappears!
• Sorry, but you owe me a drink because when I looked at your code,
I dropped mine.
• Life without you at my company would be like a broken pencil...
pointless.
• On a scale of 1 to 10, you're a 9. But I'm the 1 recruiter you need.
• I'm no mathematician, but I'm pretty good with numbers. Tell you
what — give me yours and I’ll text you a really cool link about my
company.
• I may not be a genie, but I can make all of your career wishes
come true!
• If it weren't for that damned sun, you'd be the hottest Accountant
ever created.
• If your PM skills were a burger at McDonalds, I'd be calling you
“Project McGorgeous.”
