Summer Media Internship

To be honest, I don’t have much experience applying for jobs. But what I have found so far, for myself at least, is that it’s very easy to forget that there will be a real live person reading your resume and cover letter. The few cover letters I’ve written have been pretty formulaic. I kind of figured that it’s the meat of my resume- the education and experience parts- that employers really care most about. This was a good reminder that you have to portray yourself as a real person with innovative, creative ideas to stand out from all the other, equally qualified, applicants out there.
