Cover letters

[Iormlund]

I've got another question regarding cover letters. If I've actually been asked to send my CV, should I attach a cover letter as well? Or am I to deduce a cover letter would be redundant (since I've already got their attention). If it makes any difference this would be for a Swedish software consulting firm with offices in Stockholm, London and both Coasts ...

I would throw a brief note on there reminding the reader of the particulars of the previous contact.

I wonder what Tyr's dream job would be.

You ever consider a job as a wolf-handler at the zoo?

Dear Schmuck,

I am writing this letter for no real god damn reason, you will see why when you read my resume.  Hell, I am the best fucking person for your job, I don't even have to prove it.  Just say my name in front of anyone with the balls to actually tell the truth and they will either a) pass out in worshipful awe, or b) tell you to hire me now and make me CEO immediately.  I am that good.

I would bore you with what I have done, but I have done it all.  Fuck, I even did stuff that hadn't been done yet and others are still trying to do it.  Knowledge of your procedures?  I have already done things that will make the next generation of procedures seem obsolete; I am that good.

In closing, if you don't hire me there will be a bunch of business webpages in the future that list you as Number One on the list of "Didn't Hire."

Fuck you anyway, you need me.

Sincerely,

Tyr.

I have a file that I like to put all cover letters in.  I call it the 'circular file'.

Write a brief cover letter saying why you are sending your resume and reminding the person about who you are and what the resume is for. Don't assume they remember or care as much as you. 

Something like "Dear _____, as you requested in our [give date] telephone conversation, please find attached my CV for the position of _____.

As you will recall, [details of why you are perfect for the job that you discussed].

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Yours very truly, ________ "
