It sez to just email your resume... but do they also want some sort of cover letter along with it?

If I have to email a resume, I usually send the resume as an attachment and put my cover letter into the body of the email. Don't waste this opportunity to whore...i mean promote yourself a little more

hmm, i attached a cover letter to every job i applied to. Found a engineering position w/ monster in about 2.5 months. The engineering ethics course I took in school teaches that a C/L adds a personal touch, it may sway the empolyer's decision to give you a interview.

Shoulda made a poll... but the general consensus is to send a cover letter as well? I guess I'll take Savij's idea and use the body of the email for a cover letter then.

Cover letter acts as an introduction.
