Job hunting things I have learned

Cover letters, short and sweet in the body of the email. Don't bother with long cover letters, they do not get read.

Give a why interested in position in cover letter or email.

Make sure every skill asked for in posting is listed or addressed in resume.

Take away irrelevant information from resume, even if this makes your resume very short.

Put your name in the subject line. Makes it easy to keep track of you and separate you from the 500 emails with the position title in the subject line.

Don't worry about sending the resume from work or Yahoo or whatever. Email address the resume is coming from isn't that important.

Immediate feedback/contact is important. List a phone # or email address that you will see right away, and respond back right away.

Hiring can take a while, it's never too late to send in your resume.

Simple is better when it comes to resumes

Tell them you have what they are looking for and then prove it in the resume and interviews.

Put one weird thing in your resume, they will remember you.
