Resume Question

Yes, just start off about "This letter is in regards to the position......"
Mention your goal, I usually put when I'm looking for part time work "I am seeking a long term, part time position to supplement my income"
I don't know why I went into that, I'm sure you know what you are doing. :D

And just give a brief overview of your past experiences without going into the detail that is covered by your resume.

Okay, so basically it's just a cover letter. Cool! This would be a great position from the sounds of it. Thanks for your help ;-)

Good Luck!!! :D :D :D

Why on earth don't they just tell you it's a cover letter?!

I am sooo dumb when it comes to resumes, I got my job right out of college, I was pretty much placed. I've never really had a resume, isn't that ridiculous?

That's what through me for a loop, a narrative letter? Ummmmmm, I was born lmao...... Heck, I'm still updating my resume. I haven't done this in so long, I almost forgot how. A good friend has been helping me though.

lmao!! I know, I'd be telling them my favorite color and all about my best childhood friends. Hey, that's a narrative, right? Um, should I read it out loud?

Jinkies, I think I need to take a resume writing class..You scared me, how could I ever get another job?

Mishele My son is in pre-law in college. They just had to do something like this. He said you need to write a letter describing why you would be good for the job. Narrative is descriptive. Good Luck Hope it helps I will give you his e-mail if you want. He is also a journalism major so he knows about writing. KYSIDE38

Mishele, I have an awesome cover letter someone helped me write. If you want a copy let me know and I can send it to you. It worked for me!!

Sue, that would be great. I just finally got your other pm from the other night. I'll be in touch :-)

Good Luck Mishele! I am resume dumb- I got all my jobs by talking my way into them :lol: Then I sound really desperate and tell them I really need this job and can do an excellent job! Once I told them I knew how to run a switchboard, just not the one like they had, so could they show me how to use theirs!! I didn't have a clue-but I got the job,guess they were desperate!...Karen

Mishele--The cover letter gives you a chance to show your personality and why you would be the perfect person for the job. :)

I have found a great sample of a cover letter that I'm going to use. I will add my flair and personality to it. I've never written one before so I'm kind of nervous. My sister said my resume looked awesome though and helped me redo it again. So, I'm glad about that. Tomorrow is the interview process and then off to Columbus. I found a job that I'm also interested in retail management. I did that prior to the position that I have now. So I guess I will apply for that as well :-) I also applied with my hubby's company for a CSR manager.

Fin,

I had to chuckle at your post. Thanks for keeping me laughing through this :-)

Good Luck, Mishele-knock 'em dead girlie!!...KAren

Mishellllle!! Don't forget to call me when you're going to be in town! :)

Good Luck Mishele :D

Well, things went fine with the interviews. We headed to Columbus and it was such a beautiful day yesterday. :-) Jessi, I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to call you. Mom wanted to get through her appointment and get home. She gets tired rather easily now and she was subject to an exam yesterday so she was a little sore on the ride home. The chemo and radiation was able to shrink the tumor. They are supposed to call her in the next day or two to schedule the surgery. It will be in November but that's all we know right now.

Understandable! I'm glad things went well. Yesterday was a nice day! I was HOPING they would send us home early from work since we were slow, but no chance..lol
2 people called off.

Mishele- I am so glad to hear about the tumor shrinking.Hope everything continues to go well for you and your mom-you both are in my prayers! Hang in there!...Karen

Thanks guys :-) We should know more in the next couple of days.

And I'm getting some interest on the resumes that I've recently sent out :-)
