I'll stop posting bad cover letters when people stop leaving them behind.

You know, as a reader of this blog I have gotten so many helpful tips for cover letters that will be helpful for me when it comes time to write one. Thanks!
Does this person talk about any of their actual skills at all? Yikes.
ha, i agree with anonymous #1 - if i ever find myself struggling to write a cover letter, i'll just come here for examples of what not to do.
Determination-that's what the greeting card industry needs. DETERMINATIONNNNNNNNN.
^^ha, ha my commenters are making funnier observations than anything i'm writing on this one.
Attention Mr. or Ms. Fishbowl: We Fishbowl consultants are finally onto you. I just found the original artwork from this post in Angell Hall. Woot.
resume only has an accent on the last e, not both. the writer probably just wanted to really show how DETERMINED he/she was to get that accent in.
Wikipedia spells it with accents on both e's. For French speakers, this would yield a pronunciation closer to the way we say it (more like "ray-zoo-may" than "ruh-zoo-may"). But of course, when the word is adopted by English, there's a strong case that the second e is the only one requiring the accent (since English words don't normally have accents, but one wants to distinguish the word from the verb "resume" meaning "restart".)
Actually, The Onion had a list of job-hunting tips, one of which was:
Be sure to pronounce résumé "REH-zoo-may," which means "a list of one's accomplishments and qualifications," and not like the word "resume," which means "to unpause Resident Evil 3."
i was sitting next to this girl when she was writing this. i was a total snooper and looked to see what she was writing. i didn't want to be mean to her face.
what a great blog idea :)
