The New York Times gave a few hints to job-seekers this weekend with their recommendation on NOT using canned cover letters when applying to jobs.

Preparing for summer: RESUMES!

Hello PDNEDU community!  I'm Mary Virginia Swanson and I'll be adding marketing advice on the blog and answering your questions on the subject of getting your work out there.  As Michelle has pointed out, now is the time to think about securing a summer internship.  I can tell you that many students have already landed a positions for Summer '05 so if you haven't thought about what type of internship would best inform your professional goals, don't hesitate.  If you hope to shoot editorially, the experience you'd gain at a magazine or newspaper would be great.  Similarly, if you wish to exhibit your work at galleries and/or museums, time spent behind the scenes would provide great insights into how those markets work.  If you have yet to write your resume, I'd suggest checking out www.jobstar.org and www.nataviguides.com for great advice.  Be sure to have your professors review your final draft, and cover letter stating why you want to secure that position.  But most importantly, don't hesisitate!  I've met with students at SCAD, NESOP and SVA this spring, many of whom are already on the case.  Internships are invaluable and if you contribute in a positive way, know that those subsequent recommendations on your behalf will be worth their weight in gold.  Good luck!!
