I've occasionally applied for communications director positions with
nonprofits whose work I find appealing. Once I was even unlucky enough
to get hired. (I joke, but it was fulfilling as heck; until my tires
dissolved from the long commute and I realized I couldn't *afford* to
replace them.)

Anyway, what with all this talk here about clever cover letters, it
just struck me that it would be fun that for a cover letter for this
position, I could write a press release for the org, announcing my own
hiring. It seemed clever, and I plan to do it. But I'm wondering... is
that what *everyone* does who applies for a PR position? I mean, it
seems like it may be a cliche sort of thing.
