Subject: further random questions from the newly-unemployed Seth asked: "(1) When I'm applying for a job through a Web form, and the form has a TEXTAREA field for typing in a cover letter, what's the appropriate style for the letter?" I have found that emailing a cover letter with an attached resume works better than applying on-line. The style that got the most response for me was something they call at T-style (I think) where you take the list of qualifications or requirements and you answer how you meet or exceed each one of them. I have been taking the risk of sending HTML formatted cover letters instead of plain text so that I can indent and bold my answers to set them apart from the requirements. Since I have been doing this, the number of responses and the number of interviews has increased greatly. Unfortunately I still haven't landed a job. I am a network administrator with over 20 networking certifications including MCSE, CCNA, and SCSA for Solaris 8.
