I heard that cover letters can be more influential than resumes.

Yes and no. Yes, because it's a little more about you and the specific position. No, because it doesn't detail all your experience and past responsibilities.

Your "Dear Madame" would only work depending what kind of job you are looking for wink

Agreed, I work for a government type agency and when I'm on an interview panel and never give much credit to a letter. I like the resumes and maybe letters of reference from past employers.

I've vowed to never live where I can't grow stuff ever again lol
but I've been trying to do more in containers, and that would work for a renter smile

good luck with your letter/resume. not a strong point for me, so I haven't any tips for you.

To Whom this May Concern,

I am a really busy person and I'm sacrificing my lunch time writing this letter. If you are smart you will hire me because I'm, like, important. In conclusion, put down your bagel and set up a date for me to come in for work so I can get your shit done. Be thankful!

* that's my cover letter smile

Salisbury Beach...nope, never been there. That's way up there, innit? Being stuck on Nantasket Beach peninsula was akin to living in Myanmar sometimes.

So how are ya? Things are better than they were during my last doom and gloom post. Never get a chance to hang on the internets much. Been a Busy Lizzie. My boyfriend Mr_Matt_ hangs here often....are you folks friends here yet? He's from Scituate.

I think cover letters are crucial for any resume submits via email. Just a few powerful sentences of introduction and then about 5 bullet points about your sublime and inimitable talents should suffice. Tell them as much as you can and don't make them scroll. Short is better.
