AUGH AUGH

I am having trouble making my cover letter different from my resume.

I THINK I GOT IT NOW. I'M NOT SURE.

I found a job opening at the observatory on campus for astronomy undergrads. How perfect is that? I NEED THIS JOB.

I'm going to sleep now and finish this thing tomorrow. Hopefully there will be less screaming.

AUGH AUGH IF I DO NOT GET THIS JOB I WILL KILL A KITTEN.

Damn, that's a cool job, I hope you get it.

I think the best thing to do with a cover letter is to keep it short and sweet. Say in a few sentences who you are, why you want the job, why you're perfect, etc. AND if you do it tastefully and professionally, humor is definitely an option, 'cause you can show them you're someone who can keep the masses entertained.

I like kittens, but to be honest, some of them look pretty expendable.

Only a few sentences to describe my perfection? You ask too much of me!

See, that is my example of humor they might not appreciate. I just need to get past the paper phase and into the person-to-person phase. I rock that phase.
