RE: Question about sending one's resume to companies

["Suzanne Chiles" <suzchiles -at- pobox -dot- com>]

I feel for your plight. But do remember that those of us who are unemployed
must send out resumes each week in order to receive our benefits. And when
there are no job listings to respond to, we don't have much choice other
than to send out letters to companies. Sorry. Though I do tailor mine
specifically to each company I write to.
