Seeing 'Aol.' in the leading image on the portfolio site http://www.marytaodesign.com seems like a strange choice when you're trying to get a job at Google.


Why would Google care (in a negative way) if you've done design work for Aol?


horrible. she's worked for another large company and got paid for it? disgraceful.


Is this your letter? If not its a bit rude to be making fun. Sounded like a fine cover letter to me. Better than the normal boiler anyway. Bit strange to post it here though.


I first read it as "puny", as in weak, and not "punny", as in "full of puns" and "funny".

It is very much "full of puns" and "funny", and I don't think it's rude at all.
