It's definitely industry specific. I never see them. |

Eye on the Silver Lining
| Congratulations! Cover letters make the difference in my small business environment. It shows that you paid attention to the criteria and aren't mass sending resumes (even if you are, you at least paid attention to the requirements of the application process and personalized yours). I would love to know the company so I could frequent it (I believe I live within a few hours of you and travel frequently to that neck of the woods) but understand that it is probably not appropriate to ask... perhaps an email?

After a summer of being unemployed, today I formally accepted the role of Director of Operations for my "dream job" within the foods industry.
I had another opportunity that would have potentially paid a higher base, but the long term opportunities made this a no-brainer. Thanks to all for the support, emails, and notes. Not everyone gets a chance to work at their "dream job", much less be told by the owner, "here are the keys, go forth and prosper".
To add -
My learning throughout this process?
The cover letter is significantly more important than the resume itself. The cover letter is what gets you through the gate keep and in front of a live decision maker.
I want to make a special point of thanking Dusty78, what you did for me was above and beyond. The assistance you provided on the Chipotle interview was the template I put together that really wow'd the ownership group for this new gig. I am in your debt.

Awesome news! I'm just glad that I could help.

That is my spot.
| AWESOME! I too chose the more risk, less money, more rewarding option and it has been awesome. I have more time for the family as the primary economic benefit and could not be happier with that part.
