From MSN/Careerbuilder

  • Your résumé and cover letter are as articulate as Courtney Love’s Web blog.
  • Your cover letter is generic.
  • Your letter is a CliffsNotes version of your résumé.
  • Your letter exudes self-consciousness, not self-confidence.
  • You cross the line from sounding confident to sounding cocky.
  • Your MySpace page lists “binge-drinking” as a favorite pastime.
  • You assume e-mail is enough.
  • You assume the Internet is enough.
  • You misrepresent yourself.
  • You give up.
