This is a warranty dispute with the dodge dealer, they claim my mechanic used the wrong fluid, therefore will not cover anything. I have saved samples of the suspect fluid.

Your local university or consumer protection board.

I only have less than 1 year of experience in my field of choice(although I have 5+ years in a different field). I am looking for job search websites that have jobs listed for those with a 4-year college degree and minimal experience. Thanks.

The Department of Labor recommends these 10 sites, I’ve sorted them in the order I think is most-to-least useful:
* Linkup.com – http://www.linkup.com
* Indeed.com – http://www.indeed.com
* USAjobs.gov – http://www.usajobs.gov
* CareerBuilder.com – http://www.careerbuilder.com
* Monster.com – http://www.monster.com
* Simplyhired.com – http://www.simplyhired.com
* America’s Virtual OneStop – http://www.americasvos.com
* Careerstallion.com – http://www.careerstallion.com
* JobSearchUsa.org – http://www.jobsearchusa.org

Good luck!

Cover letter to send to art galleries for potential job opportunities?

Posted in cover letter  by: admin
February 8th, 2010

I know my dream job is to work in an art gallery and I am planning on sending my resume to all the galleries I can find in my area but I’m not sure what my cover letter should say since they are not exactly advertising an opening. What should my cover letter say if I am pretty much just sending off my resume to see if I am a fit for any jobs they may have open?

Sending out what amounts to a "cold call" letter is pretty much going to be either hit or miss. Despite what the previous answerers have said, the reality is that most jobs these days are not advertised, so if you are sending out a cold call cover letter, it might get read, but it might get filed and never seen again. It’s impossible to predict from here. A lot depends upon the need of the gallery at the time you send out your resume and cover letter.

What it does allow you to do, though, is make a professional connection with the gallery, and that by itself could be very useful for you, perhaps not now if they are not presently looking to hire people, but down the road when they are. You can then respond to them by saying, in a much more formal way, "Hey, remember that professional letter you got a few months ago from somebody expressing interest in working for your gallery? Well, that was me, and I’m still interested."

However, I think you are approaching this wrong. If you are "sending out a cover letter and resume just to see if you are a fit for any jobs they may have open", they are less likely to be interested in you than if you "send out a cover letter and resume expressing interest in a particular job or two". Your goal is to convince them that you can actually fill a position and job function for them. If you are just asking for random consideration, that is all they are going to offer you, and typically, that does not lead to a job offer. You want to make yourself a special qualified candidate to fill a specific position, not just a random person looking for a random job at an art gallery.

So what do you say in your cover letter? Briefly, you want to express your prior experience. You’ll want to express your qualifications. You probably want to express your interest in art in general, and the artwork of the particular gallery you are applying to in particular. Feel free to show off tidbits of your knowledge. You’ll want to express why you are a better candidate than anybody else they might receive a cover letter from. The more you can get to the specifics of what they are looking for, the more likely you are to impress somebody that you are worth hiring. But as I said already, this means you need to make your job focus, or at least your cover letters, a bit less general and a bit more specific. Make sure you have a specific name to whom you are going to address your correspondence. If the jobs are not being advertised, that is a way to make sure your correspondence is more likely to be read by somebody.

Keep in mind that the art of writing a cover letter is to say as much as you possibly can in as few words as possible. A cover letter shouldn’t typically be longer than one page at most.

If you need some specific help in composing your cover letter, I am in the business of writing letters for people. Feel free to get in touch with me by sending me a message through Yahoo Answers and I’ll be sure to provide you my contact information.

Resume for internship – Should I bother including my only work experience if it was just babysitting?

Posted in resume  by: admin
February 8th, 2010

I’m creating a resume for my junior-level social work internship. I have a lot of volunteer experience but my only work experience that applies is babysitting that I did 3-4 years ago when I was in high school.

Would it be better to leave work experience completely out and let them focus on my volunteer experience, or should I go ahead and include it?

CV writing is a skill that you absolutely must master if you want to get a great job. However, not many people know how to write a good CV. Of course, you can pay someone else to write your resume for you, but that is not always a good idea.
Resume writers know how to create a professional CV, but they don’t know you and usually aren’t writing a document which is targeted to fit a specific job. So it pays to learn how to write your own.
It’s actually not as difficult as you might think and once you know the basics, you can create a laser targeted CV in no time at all.
Start out by getting all of the relevant information in one place In fact, try to make a note of all your employment and student activities as you go. This will save you a lot of time when it comes to updating your resume. Keep a file on your computer with dates, addresses and contact details of potential referees.
Make sure you have all your physical documentation in one place too – degrees, professional qualifications, and any certificates you obtained from short courses.
The next stage is to go through the job description and person specification in detail and highlight all the qualities, skills and experience you need for the job. Then make sure this is reflected in your CV and cover letter
Once you have assembled all of your information, you are ready to move on to the next stage, in part 2.
