tanaiseokay, I drew up a general cover letter for my resume for temp agencies, and then discovered that I don't actually have it on my CD--I carefully backed up all my writings, but not my work stuff. So my brother's shipping it to me now.
I'd share the cover letter, but it's evil and smarmy, in the 'oh please, I really want a job,' type of smarm.
If I am applying for jobs involving editing/desktop publishing, I wonder if I should have a complete list of publications with it? I could easily draw up a page or so of documents I've worked on in various functions, from the books I've single handedly laid out in Word and Excel to the very very extensive list of things that I've proofed for our group, and a lot of things that fall somewhere in between. If I do this, should I just make it a big long list of things I've worked on, or should I break it down as things I've laid out, proofed, copy edited, etc? Most things I've proofed extensively, and done minor layout on (I was last on the list of Pagemaker skills, so they got give mostly to others, but I've still had plenty of experience with it. (blast it all, what was that report that I laid out 4 million tables for?)), some things I've done a fair bit of layout on and basic proofing (such as the quarterly, where I was second in the line, and thus did the majority of basic layout for a couple of issues), and somethings I've layed out completely, but in Word, which should give me super bonus points for the evilness of managing that without killing the client. any suggestions? And should it just be bibliographic info, or should I include the NCES catalog links, which lead to PDF versions of 95% of the stuff I've worked on?
