Subject:cover letters... From:Becca Price <RP51 -at- CHRYSLER -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 9 May 1997 09:49:19 EDT
I've been asked to send a resume to a friend's company; they're a small
start-up, and don't currently have a tech writer, but need one badly.
I've been asked to send a resume with a cover letter explaining why
the company needs me... and my mind is blank today. I have over
20 years experience doing this sort of thing, and I am drawing a total
blank. The only thing I can think of is that good tech writing significantly
reduces support calls and expenses (my friend handles their tech. support.)
any suggestions?
