I'm applying for Blackpool pleasure beach for the summer, crap job but loads of hours which is all I want.
Now it's a single A4 page that asks for name, address, phone and email, what hours you can work and then "in 20 words or less, tell us why you should be part of our dynamic team?"

I'm struggling to say anything worthwhile about myself in such short space and without the generic adjectives like trustworthy and adaptable

Anyone any ideas to get my brain working?

Maybe have a look on there website and maybe there's some quotes or buzz words they've used?

Worth a shot

Say you watched Adventureland and want to pull a Kristen Stewart-a-like. Maybe.

I might just put that, see if it gets me noticed. It's between that and "I'm trustworthy, hardworking and adaptable. I'm highly motivated and am willing to go the extra mile to get the job done." which is far too generic and probably almost identical to what's on 90% of the forms they get

Either that or "I'm a wild mouse, I'll cause an avalanche and ice blast on to your team to start a revolution!"
They're all names of rides there, is that too cheesy an attempt to get noticed?

Just hard work, my work experience is office based n finance. I'm a qualified mechanic and I'm doing an engineering degree.
Im hardly an ideal candidate for jobs like this

Politely inform them that the correct grammatical way to say that is "20 words or fewer

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
