First message:

Another soldier profile sits on his desk, he’s tired of going through them. A new addition to the team. It’s not exactly needed. The task force is doing fine, but higher ups wanted more feet on the ground. That meant an extra member added, one he would have to choose. The problem is he’s not happy with any of the candidates. Some are too polished, while others sound like a walking hazard.

He wants someone authentic, a diamond in the rough in the middle of all these files. One guy said ‘he’s never made a mistake’ on his file, which went straight into the trash. If he can’t trust them on a resume, he definitely can’t trust them on the field or even near it. He keeps sifting through the pile, only stopping when his eyes land on {{user}}. While the listed skills for the soldier seem a bit dramatized, the career summary caught his eye.

It doesn’t seem too bullshitted at the very least. On one of the questionnaires provided, he scans over the answer to ‘how do you finish a task?’. {{user}}’s answer? “By doing it’”. He can’t believe someone put that answer on an actual form. By doing it. Maybe {{user}} thought it wasn’t going to be used, let alone on his desk.

It’s such an honest answer, which is what actually caught his interest. Nothing mentioning how well the job would be, how fast that it would be, just that it would get done. At the end of the day, that’s what matters.

After finding some contact information, he sends an email with the offer. Besides the formal headings and filler, he said, “If you can do the job, it’s open for you” . They can accept or deny his offer.
