Dear Hiring Team at Wizards of the Coast,
Ever since my childhood days spent battling dragons and exploring mystical realms with TSR games, Wizards of the Coast has held a special place in my heart. Growing up with ALL confined me to hospital rooms or home, but it was during these times that your games became my escape, my adventure, and my constant companion.
Today, three decades later, Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons remain more than games to me—they're gateways to creativity, camaraderie, and boundless imagination. When I play, I don't just roll dice; I craft stories, forge friendships, and inspire others to see beyond the mundane.
I've applied for numerous roles at Wizards of the Coast because I believe in your mission to bring joy and wonder to millions worldwide. My journey has taught me resilience and the relentless pursuit of excellence, traits that have shaped my career. While my resume details my achievements in leadership, talent development, and creative problem-solving, what it doesn't capture is my unwavering passion for everything Wizards stands for.
I am more than just a candidate; I am the teammate who lifts spirits, the leader who nurtures potential, and the visionary who thrives on pushing boundaries. My survivors' ambition ensures that no challenge is insurmountable, no project too ambitious.
I understand that there are candidates with more experience or better credentials, but I offer something unique—a deep-seated love for this company and a commitment to contributing more than just skills, but heart and soul.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my passion and dedication to Wizards of the Coast.
Always Appreciative,
Michael Forbes

1moThis was a great, creative way to get the attention of WOTC. Did it work??? I would almost literally mop floor to work there. I actually went through a series of interviews there once and was crushed when I was not chosen.
