19岁自闭症小伙手写求职信 力证自己有能力工作

Lowry is a 2019 graduate of Heritage High School in Virginia. He now enters the Community And Schools Together (CAST) program. To find a job, Lowry wrote a cover letter on LinkedIn. Here is the letter:
February 27, 2021
Dear Future Employer,
    My name is Ryan Lowry. I am 19 years old and live in Leesburg, Virginia. I have autism(自闭症). I also have a good sense of humor. I am good at math, really good with technology, and a really quick learner.
    I am interested in a job in cartoon, or in IT. I realize that someone like you will have to take a chance on me. I don’t learn like other people do. I would need a teacher to teach me, but I learn quickly. Once you explain it, I will get it. I promise that if you hire me and teach me, you’ll be glad what you did. I will show up every day, do what you tell me to do, and work really hard.
    Please let me know if you would like to talk about this with me. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Ryan Lowry
Since Lowry posted the letter last month, he has received so many calls from potential (潜在的) employers. He has several interviews scheduled with Fortune 500 companies. Lowry’s parents, Rob and Tracy, couldn’t be more proud of their son. “I lay in bed at night and I cry reading the messages,” Tracy said. “This letter has opened up so many opportunities.”
