I would also recommend tailoring your cover letter for each position. People talk a lot about resumes, but tend to neglect the cover letter. If you are able to compellingly articulate your skills in a cover letter, and make a connection with how these skills can benefit the employer, this can be a very powerful way to stand out from the crowd. Maybe it's not necessary to send 100 resumes out, but just a few finely tuned and targeted resume/cover letter combinations. Dan Lindsey,
