I completed my BFA degree at UC Santa Barbara in June 2008 and have reviewed about 20+ new grad resumes and cover letters (UC Santa Barbara, UC Davis, UCLA, etc..). I have to say that you speak volumes of truth regarding properly written cover letters and resumes! Especially in this current economy when recruiters are reviewing the most infinitesimal details, there is no excuse to click the 'send' button without first clicking the 'spell check' button.

This kind of inconsistency kills a résumé." This is a detail which is mostly overlooked by jobseekers. Consistency is part presentation and part content issue. I agree to the previous comment that attention to details is a must for every job seeker. “Notice how some entries include the city and state (a good thing), while others do not (a bad thing).
