Don’t ask, don’t get, right? On that principle, seven-year-old Chloe Bridgewater, who lives in Hereford, UK, wrote a letter to Google asking for a job.

Like a skilled job seeker, Chloe discusses her own qualifications (“I like computers”) and explains why she believes she would be a good fit for the company. She even provides references: “My teachers tell my mum and dad that I am very good in class and am good at my spelling, reading, and my sums.”

She also mentions that this is not only her first application but virtually her first letter: “I have only ever sent one other and that was to Father Christmas.”
