    Can anyone give me a good opening line for a job application letter instead of the same boring stuff everyone else uses. Regardz Colin J Davies

      But that will only stand you out as an individual. Do employers like that? :) I am pretty sure the last lot I worked for just wanted monotonous drones. But those memories are far to painful to think about.

          "You need me. Trust me, you reall really need me !" Of course, there is a small chance this could backfire ;P Elaine (fluffy tigress emoticon) Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

                      Why don`t you say something like this for an opening line: "I was searching for an opening line, but didn`t seem to find one." This should catch their attention :)

This is exactly why I used an employment agency when I was looking for work in '01. Let them find the job, let them make the opening sell, just give them a CV and let them do their stuff. :) However, for anyone considering using an employment agency, I would strongly advise taking no crap from them from the first time you speak to them. Let them know exactly what you're looking for and where and don't let them talk you out of it. Otherwise you'll spend half your time running round for interviews at places where you're never going accept a job. Paul

                                        I appreciate what you are saying. But what about when ajob is advertised at a place, where you wish to work. (for whatever reason) Regardz Colin J Davies

                                        Yeah, I understand the problem, Colin. What I'm trying to say is this: I have no idea, I never did have any idea, I hate dealing with things like this, so personally I try to avoid the entire situation. Sorry, not much help and I probably should have just kept my mouth shut...... .... I'll do that now, right? ;) Paul
