    “Lotsa”? Poor grammar in a cover letter will hurt your chances.

    I’ve heard that you can get arrested for telling someone why you’re interested in their position.

    The Rat won’t pay his share of the cost of living; and what he does pay, the old Goat of the House takes away.

    We can trade jobs. I’ll sit in the happy box, and Pig can deal with the cretins I work for.

    Honesty is good. But asking for a job is sales, and the way to do sales is to explain why what you’re selling (yourself) can solve the buyers’ problem.

    Most resumes end up in the “no-action shredder”! It’s worth paying for a Head Hunter! Saves a lot of time & aggrevation!

    Dr HR Guy, If you don’t hire me, I will have to collect unemployment. And that will be your tax dollars paying for it.

    Best résumé in history has to be the one Leonardo da Vinci sent to Ludovico Sforza, the regent of Milan, in 1482. It’s worth googling.

    A very honest cover letter. At this point, what are employers expecting?

    Oooh, I thought it was cover as in Cover Your A$$, like “The last company I worked for went bankrupt, but I wasn’t there that day.”

    Generally, it is explaining to them what you offer that deserves lotsa money.

    People I would interview would occasionally tell me “But I really need a job” and I would reply “So do I and if I hire you, in a month, neither of us will have one”

    Recruiters and HR folks alike ignore cover letters. Complete waste of time.

    I’m sure if he had written “I’m Pig, and I need money” it would have been fine.

    A resume’ ain’t worth a cent/ in their armor, it won’t make a dent/ the job always goes/ to someone who knows/ someone else – so it needn’t be sent.
