Re: Cover Letter / Resume Hilarity
Craigslist job ads cost $25/category FWIW. You don't need to put a company name, in fact I think most don't. The responses go to a blind email address and get forwarded to me. I don't want the freaks trying to call me or anything.

Re: Cover Letter / Resume Hilarity
You only have to pay for a handful of cities. San Francisco is $75. Boston, LA, NYC, San Diego, Seattle, and D.C. are $25. All others are free.

[/ QUOTE ] Typos on a cover letter and/or resume should be autmoatic disqualification for any job, no matter how complicated. It's not that hard to get them right if you put more than minimal effort into them. I don't want someone who can't get a letter right that they've had infinite time to produce when they'll be making many quick decisions throughout the work day. |
