I got the whole resume done and now i'm stuck on what to put in the cover letter page.

How long should it be and what should I put in it?

Assuming you've got limited work experience, keep it short and to the point. Express interest in the job you're after, give a broad overview of why you're interested and qualified and close it up politely.

Yes. Always with a resume, a cover letter should be included, in my opinion. Chances are it won't be read so much as skimmed, but he at a minimum should refer to the position(s) he's after.

Where's the one in Cherry Hill at? I know the area well since I visit there often for my friends and stylist.

So you?re the one who is going to be used as cannon fodder when the creatures in the lab escape. It will be just like half-life's expansion pack!

Be sure to let them know that you breathe through your mouth and consider policy more important than life.

cant hurt

deja vu

seriously.




but anyway, writing a cover letter shows that you are putting forth effort. i think that will give a good first impression. I'm not really sure of the nature of the job, so i can't really help you with content.

I don't quite understand cover letters. i haven't found a job that i'm excited to work at yet so the only reason why i want to work there is the pay ...
i guess for experience also, but then wouldn't that make them think i was only using them as a stepping stone?

meh, i don't know. i never write cover letters
