Quick job question

• Quick job question kpwlee Posted : 5/27/2008 12:42:47 PM  Leaving out lots of details............. there is a position at our local SPCA that I am going to apply for and am writing the cover letter.  Everyone there knows me - do you write the letter acknowledging that they all know me or as if they don't?

• oranges81 Posted : 5/27/2008 1:15:47 PM I was told by my JobWave worker that it would be best to write it as if they don't know anything about you. I believe she said to "sell your self" to them. Lol. Good luck on the job!  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• mrstjohnson Posted : 5/27/2008 1:22:55 PM I would address it as though you don't know anyone, but I would acknowledge in the letter you are familiar with the people there (i.e. I have worked with them etc. etc. or my relationship with the members there, etc.) just enough to catch someone's eye. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• kpwlee Posted : 5/27/2008 1:27:05 PM Thanks guys that is the direction I've gone in - I have never found myself in this sort of situation before - to this extent and it feels strange. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
