Mr. Davis is right, you should not post anyone's email address on a
newsgroup post. It's a good thing my mom raised me on SPAM.
I got your cover letter. I can't open it, but that's only because it was
created in Microsoft Works, and I don't have Works installed on my machine.
If you try to open it on your own machine and have a problem, there is
something strange going on that is confusing your own computer about the
file. It *should* just open the file in MS Works, but something, like a
converter like the message says, is causing that to break.
Since I did get your file, you appear to not be having a problem sending
your cover letter or resume as an attachment.
However, if you are sending your resume to potential employers, most
companies don't run MS Works as their corporate application. They *may*
have the appropriate converters, or may be willing to get them. But maybe
not. And maybe they will let you know that they can't open your resume, or
maybe they won't.
I suggest you go to
www.primopdf.com, and download the free version of their
software. It will allow you to convert your resume into a PDF file, which
pretty much every company will be able to read (and probably most
individuals as well). It will probably take you some time to get used to
the software, so make sure you read the help guide. But it's really
simple - after you install the software, just open your resume, and print
it. When your computer asks you what printer to use, choose Primo PDF as
your printer. YOu will then be asked what to name the file and where to
save it. Answer those questions, pay attention to where you save the file,
and send it to whomever.
Good luck!
