Shaun Usher runs a blog called ''Letters of Note." It's a collection of letters -- famous or otherwise -- from across history. One of his favourite letters is a job application written in 1934, by a man named Robert Pirosh, and sent to producers in Hollywood. It got Pirosh three interviews and a job. Listen to Shaun Usher read it out loud. (Image: Hollywood showing Columbia Square with the Columbia Broadcasting System building. In the foreground is Sunset Boulevard.
