[RonBee]

Make two or three columns if you can make it nice and neat.

[Ahmed21]

[RonBee]

Hey, do you know anything about Tdol or Anglika's whereabouts? I have sent them messages regarding my cover letter.

I can't speak for either of them, but perhaps they have nothing to add to what has already been said.

I think the cover letter is quite good as is. Why worry?

[Ahmed21]

I just wanted to add a little paragraph about why do i wanna be accountant, but its ok i think it looks good. would you hire me if i was applying for job at your firm based on my education and experience?

[RonBee]

Would you hire me if I was applying for job at your firm based on my education and experience?

I am impressed with your education, but I would still have to interview you.

(Disclaimer: I am not a manager.)

[Ahmed21]
