I usually get better responses with my more standard ones. Another question I can't decide on, do you do a creative subject line or just what the job title is?KBrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365367919603053684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33188498.post-32488510808832336062009-07-22T03:15:23.167-04:002009-07-22T03:15:23.167-04:0010am is the BEST time of day for writing anything ...10am is the BEST time of day for writing anything i reckonKatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196970876569595028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33188498.post-7564752507659002932009-07-21T23:44:43.853-04:002009-07-21T23:44:43.853-04:00well, the closest I've come to actually gettin...well, the closest I've come to actually getting jobs were for things I didn't use a cover letter for... like I heard a place just got funding, so I figured they were hiring, so I called and they told me to come in on friday for an interview.<br />Or I met a guy at a conference, gave him my card, and the next monday someone he knew emailed me to see if I wanted to come in for an interview. <br />ALthough I did send one cover letter that essentailly said "this world is seriously f***ed up, but your organization appears not to be, so I would like to work for you". That was the most promising lead until they lost funding. <br />I guess you have to keep on writing, calling, emailing, meeting, volunteering, and every once and a while send out a "hi I'm a real person and this is what I ACTUALLY think about the work you do" cover letter. Those seem to get the best responses. <br />Best of luck with all your applications!alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05805582771434384515noreply@blogger.com
