I think the whole cover letter thing is a joke. You spend hours putting a resume together just to sum it up in sentences for the cover letter. So if they don't like the letter, they won't even bother to read your resume. I hate those things!Srghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759724394866055343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16785398.post-11699383808329992362008-09-24T12:48:00.000-04:002008-09-24T12:48:00.000-04:00Ugh, job search is not fun.

I think you're a good writer (and since the universe revolves around moi, it can't be long 'til you get a new job)!<BR/><BR/>I am an experienced graphic designer living in a town with a private art college, so I feel you on competing with inexperienced students - the job market here is flooded with kids after the exact type of job I do. <BR/><BR/>I was once a grad looking for that first break too, so I have SOME sympathy for them. But I also know why I should be hired instead of them, not least because I've worked with a few of them!SouthernBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144061264883912189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16785398.post-33782513751588161102008-09-24T11:48:00.000-04:002008-09-24T11:48:00.000-04:00you had me at the line "i was trying to convey."i'...you had me at the line "i was trying to convey."<BR/><BR/>i'd hire you in a new york minute, my friend.<BR/><BR/>(but we can't work at the same place, because our stories to blog about would be too repetitive.)sjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04643760705722729503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16785398.post-48996290042990332982008-09-24T11:31:00.000-04:002008-09-24T11:31:00.000-04:00Just send her a link to your blog.
