The cover letter is always tricky -- do you say what you THINK they want to hear? Do you just be yourself? A blend of the two? In the end, I settled on sincerity -- just put myself out there, and they can either take me or leave me. But this I know: if they pick me, I'll do a darn good job for them!
For hundreds of posts, this blog was about never giving up. Well, I didn't give up (thanks, Tim Westergren!) and now I have the job of my dreams. Now this blog is about applying the Liberal Arts to Business.
