I hate writing them.

Dear Job People,

I want a job, you have a job.
Give it to me.

kk thx, MinkaGrl01

have any suggestions for writing them? I keep picking around the job description but it sounds so redundant

that format looks simlar to mine. i have a program that just puts in their name, purposely mispelled and then automatically emails it to them 4x.

i never did cover letters. ever. maybe it's cause most jobs I apply for are IT related. but I just landed a pretty laid back job at HP.

in cover letters i usually explain how i heard ab the job (they might have posted it in multiple places) or mention if someone referred you, then i highlight some stuff from my resume that relates to the job then i tell them how excited i am ab the opportunity to apply for the job and then some contact info

i'll pm you a copy of an old one i used when i was applying for internships

that was a really good cover letter wolfy! I sent mine, it ws half the size of your's but I think it was good.... whew!

my cover letter has to have my salary expectations (negotiable) and my salary history in it. how would you go about doing that tastefully?


oh, and does the cover letter go on nice paper just like the resume or do you put it on regular paper?
