    Don't forget the most important part - the cover letter. If somebody went through the trouble of A) spelling my name right, and B) finding out what kind of engineering our firm does, I'd be impressed and probably invite the guy in for an interview, even if we WEREN'T hiring. Because if we didn't need him, surely another one of our North American offices could.

    Take note of what Mr McDiver stated about getting names right.

    mmm, I hear a lot of things here that people have said to me in college. Make a good cover letter, make it in word, make it white paper, make it able to be OCR'd. Man, I've read the resumes for people applying for $120K+/yr jobs. The ones I've read were a bold line followed by lots of details and qualifications. And half of them were purely left indent, no margins at 2 inches.

    We are technicians and engineers. For the most part we look down on sales people, bs, and the fancy wording they wrap around it. An employer in our field got there because he knows his sh1t. So, in turn, he wants to know what sh1t you know and what you've accomplished.

    Find out who will actually be your boss and send your detailed resume to him or her personally. Not only will they respect your knowledge (and your lack of bs) but they'll respect your drive that led you to learn who they are.
