My Cover Letter to Uber

15 years ago, I stood in a crowd with 15,000 other sweat soaked fans, the majority of us under the age of 18, under the hot August sun awaiting the band Rancid to take the stage. A roar let out from the crowd as the lead singer, Tim Armstrong took the stage. In a distorted slurred voice, he shouted out, “F%$k you, Toronto.” Energy in the air was atomic. He screamed, “it’s time for a change, and that change starts here today. Who is tired of being ripped off by the major music labels? It’s time we destroy these corporations together … music is for the people!” Within seconds there were 30,000 middle fingers in the air chanting, “F%$k the major labels.”

I will never forget the next forty‐five minutes of my life. The crowd danced, partied, fought and screamed. As Bob Dylan once said “revolution was in the air.” From this moment, I knew the coming generation of kids was going to flip the status quo on it’s head. It was obvious the ways of yester year was not for these kids, and I NEEDED to be a part of this change.

Where this revolution began is unknown. The earliest I can remember was Napster. Sharing music became free. It was the greatest thing I had ever stumbled upon. Listening to music is my passion and now I had any song I ever wanted at my fingertips. Napster forever changed the way a generation of people viewed how they owned and shared information.

Now Uber has come along and thrown the way we view ownership of tangible assets on its head. It is not a company that is merely a replacement for the traditional taxi, but something far bigger than that. Uber provides people access to an asset without having to own it directly. It is expanding and defining a culture of sharing. It has flipped upside down the conventional system of our views of ownership and society is struggling to keep up with Uber.This is WHY UBER! I want to be part of the revolution. I want to be part of the change that has already started.

Nothing is achieved without effort. But when you believe in something, it is no longer work, it is your passion. I am passionate about what Uber is doing and I want to use my passion to influence change.”

I have dedicated my entire adult life helping young individuals pursue their dreams. Working with disadvantaged students has been extremely challenging and rewarding at the same time. Students tend to walk into my classroom with bleak outlooks on life, with graduating high school as their only wish in life. I tried to understand the dynamics in their life in which attaining a high school diploma would complete their life goals. I realized that I was put in these kids’ lives to make a difference. No one around them told how great they were and could be. No one has ever told them that they have the potential to change the world or that they could literally be whatever it was they chose to do through perseverance and determination. Earlier this year, a graduating student, who at the time was homeless, asked me what my dreams were, since my job was dedica. I told him that if I can inspire a student to fight and believe in their dreams, that would be enough for me. I thought about that question for the next several months. I came to the conclusion that my dreams, were making other peoples dreams come true. Digging deeper, I realized that my dream has always to be a part of something that was about change, and something that created an impact on society. I always admired how Uber not only transformed the transportation industry, but also the job market, and how it inspired an entire generation to find solutions to conventional industries. I was fascinated by the revolution they created despite the pushback they have received from traditionalists. I don’t have an MBA from an IVY league institution, but I have the work ethic, ambition and drive that I believe is necessary to excel at a career with Uber.
