I'm applying for a job @ Lockheed Martin

[Kroze]

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.

Say you've played through half-life like 6 times.

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.

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
