what you sohuld do is present them with a cover letter and your resume… in the cover you should put that you are looking to expand your career with a new company and that \ is at the top of your list… then give a sentence about your current job (only if it applies to prior-knowledge of the new position) and then a sentence about you being a hard worker… then closing. i should have a cover if you want one… it’ll not all apply, mine are usually more directed to the company i’m sending it to ---

Alright - Have you ever put together a cover letter for your resume? I think thats what you need to do as your email message. This is the structure I used when applying on line - I got alot of call backs its like looking under the hood before you a car. The more info you have in the cover letter the more they will want to look “under the hood” Set it up something like this – This is in response to your advertisement for a (whatever job). I graduated from (What college) in (Month/Year) with a Bachelor of (whatever it was). I have over (years) experience within the industry and over (years)professional experience as a (whatever you do now). **(The following was my line of shit to get them hooked. List some of your strengths and what you know)**In addition to strong presentation skills in front of local Environmental Boards, I have strong technical skills and proficiency in various versions of AutoCad including 2000i and 2004, SurvCadd XML, Land Development 2000, Photoshop 7, Benchmark and Microsoft Office software. I would like the opportunity to tell you more about my work experience and how my unique designs and people skills could contribute to the successful day-to-day working environment of your company. References will be provided at your request. Sincerely, Your name ---

Ok just saw you called and they have openings…The first line then put - In a recent discussion with your human resource manager(or whoever you had talked to), I was informed that you have a position open. I am fowarding my resume for your review. Then follow up with the rest of the mess ^ ---
