Well, if he specifies " handwritten, " then I guess I'd give him just

that (though I find it somewhat unusual, he probably wants to see how

legible your writing is (is this for an in-office MT/secretarial

position of some kind?) ... either that or he fancies himself a

handwriting analyst :-)

Cover letters are really pretty simple ... perhaps someone can point

you to a sample, but I've always felt it's best to just write one

without a specific template and let your style show through ... that's

who he's hiring after all.

Basically, the body should cover [paragraph 1] the fact that the

resume is enclosed, a reminder of why you're sending it (i.e., what

position you're applying for), [paragraph 2] and then also point out

what you feel is your strongest selling point (or skills), and how you

feel that would match his needs (if you know that much about what

he/she is looking for). Then, [paragraph 3] a closing paragraph

thanking them for the opportunity, and how you're looking forward to

the opportunity to discuss it further. (as though it's a given)

So, just two or three short paragraphs, four at the most ... you're

just identifying the resume and pointing out your strongest point(s);

the resume, hopefully, will sell the rest.

, I couldn't agree with you more. Life is a state of mind. We

must look on the bright side if we are to survive in this world.

Whenever I get down about my son's disease, I think about the little

children with brain cancer and worse. Pam

Thanks very much . Hope you're having a good Thanksgiving. Just a

normal week and weekend here in Canada, but, I did watch the all-day Columbo

marathon on A & E yesterday, and the Macy's Parade on NBC earlier in the day
