Need a reviewer
« on: August 20, 2004, 01:24:11 AM »
...of a cover letter and resume, tomorrow (Fri.) sometime. My friend just told me about an opening at Simon & Schuster that fits my experience perfectly. So I've decided to apply, but I never feel like my cover letters go very far, and I wonder if my resume isn't that great either. I've had a friend who's an economist look at it from the job standpoint, but I need people who are in publishing to look at it, too, I think.

So, anybody going to be online tomorrow during the day, about noonish or early afternoon my time, that you could look at my stuff and chat with me about it online?

I'll be around, but I'm not exactly the type you need to talk to.  My profession isn't exactly resume-driven.

I'll be online tomorrow, if you'd like me to look at your stuff.

That would be great. I just woke up, so it'll be a while before it's ready to be seen, but I'll keep an eye out for you.

EUOL, you have had experience with cover letters for manuscripts, though, haven't you? Or, at least, your proposal for Tor recently. I need help marketing myself, so if you're willing to look at it and give any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
