QUOTE(jsm @ Sep 8 2005, 06:46 AM) Your cover-letter should not be full of unimportant details such as where you learned about the job posting unless requested by the company. You should focus your effort on using the cover letter to highlight why you are ideal for the position. I can almost recognize a form letter without reading it and it will be disposed off. A personal letter, especially hand-written will however stand out to me and may get some additional consideration. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

Hi, currently I still have listed 2 different interest that I have in my resume... Is it ok if I remove one of them and use the extra space to put some of the other skills that I have?

You may find it helpful to have multiple versions of your resume that each emphasize particular aspects or interests you have. For example if you are interested and experienced in both computational geometry and software quality assurance you would probably want to highlight the computation geometry aspects if you applied to a company like Silicon Graphics and submit the other resume that focusses on software quality assurance if you apply to somewhere else. If you were applying for a managerial position you would want to make that the thrust of your resume instead of all the technical skills that you would highlight if you were applying for a technical position.

hi,
I have come out with a application letter letter with a p/s like this:
P/S: By now, I already start my homework with SPC, FMEA, DOE and QC Tools. Hopefully I wouldnt let you down in the interview.
Actually I have no experience in those stuff but the requirements put it like this;
"Knowlwdge in statistical technique is an added advantage eg. SPC, FMEA, DOE and QC"
Anyhow, i will do whatever it takes to atleast get a better understanding eventhough I only have short time and internet is only my resource.
the problem are can i really write like that? or does it make the employer will think that I'm hype? even though i'm not! is there any better way can I write those? Please.
FYI:
Statistical Process COntrol (SPC) Design of Experiment (DOE) Failure Mode & Effect Analysis (FMEA) Quallity Control Tools (QC Tools)
*My education backgraund will support other requirement. I post for industrial engineer.

When we're required to state our expected salary, where do we put it? Cover letter or CV? Or is it a different document altogether?

The reason is some company may ask your futurte peers to interview you and you do nto want them to knwo what is your expected salary. Dreamer

QUOTE(deus_ex_machina @ Oct 10 2005, 01:16 PM) In my opinion the more important point in the blog is not to avoid certain words but to rather make sure you can proove to your interviewer that what you say is true. It is even better to do like the article suggested using the example below: Instead of... "Experience working in fast-paced environment" Try... "Registered 120+ third-shift emergency patients per night" That will go a long way to convince interviewers that you are not just fluffing up your resume. Don't avoid the 25 words listed, just make sure you can support any claims you make.

in my opinion, a resume must have enough power-phrases to potray your skills and qualification.

The link is not working. When I click at it, I was directed to a France directory. No idea what the page is all about. Can't read french.
