I know that a portfolio should ideally be between 7-10 pages, 12 at the maximum.

The job I am interviewing for tomorrow (and REALLY wanting to get) is a job that is based in communications. I would be in charge of newsletters, promotion material, white papers, etc. They asked me to bring in writing samples.

Right now my portfolio is composed of this:
1) Resume
2) References
3) Brochure I created in internship
4) Mock sponsorship request letter
5-7) Mock event profile
8)…

I am applying for an internship at a local newspaper and have my resume and writing samples set, but I don’t know what an introductory letter is or how to write one. If anyone has any advice on creating one and knows what should and should not go into it, please let me know. Examples would be great as well.

I’ll be a senior in the Fall, and I’ll be graduating in the spring with a triple major, and two minors. I have also been very heavily involved on campus in student organization/greek life, as well as maintained a job throughout my college experience. So, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good resume template that could highlight these well. A lot of the ones I’ve seen don’t seem very oriented towards this sort of thing. Thanks for you help!
I guess I should also mention that this…

whilst following a cover letter template I came across a part which said ‘person’s name’- i know they mean the employers name,however, i don’t know it….All i know is the company name.

Am i suppose to do a little investigating first to find who it is?…or..do i not fill in that part?…because it also says a little further down…’dear___’… if i don’t have his/ her name than what do i say?

please help :D
@carwalking…
Thank you for that..if i was lvl2 than i would thumbs up you…

This is my first attempt ever to apply for a job and I’m planning on applying as a cashier at Apple. I’m 17 and Apple requires a resume.

I looked at some samples on Google but they didn’t help me much. So I was wondering if you guys can give me some ideas to write a good first resume. Help please?

When applying for a job, to, say, write articles or blogs for a web publication and they ask for “writing samples” along with your resume, what should I send them? Only samples that have been published? Can I send unpublished samples? If I do send a short story should I only send the first few paragraphs or the whole thing? I don’t think MySpace blogs are appropriate to send, but members of my family have been arguing with me that I should send MySpace blogs, as well as completed assignments,…
