In my quest for employment, I’ve been submitting boring old cover letters to the roles I apply for. The general advice for designers is to send in a fancy pants cover letter. That’s not something I’ve been doing until recently. This week I figured I would start doing that, both for design and science roles.<\/p>\n

This last week, I sent off two job application with themed cover letters. One for a design role, one for a science role. I received a call back for the science role (no botching the interview answers this time I hope).<\/p>\n

For some “fun” I’ve redacted some information on the doccos. The design role was written and designed as a press release. The science role was created as a controlled document.<\/p>\n

In addition to creating themed resume’s I redesigned my scientific resume into a controlled document format which can be customized for the role being applied for. Check out the redacted version here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
