I hope to god not. Already there's one in IOT and I suspect it's also happening in DYOS.Are the OT admins pulling any shenanigans on us this year?
The goal of your initial response is to not get put in the trash. Of course send the resume and a cover letter that is written specifically for the job offered and how you are a perfect fit. You do that by matching job qualifications in the ad with your own experience. If the job calls for specific writing or graphic skills as part of the listed qualifications, I would send two or three (no more) of your very best. If not you could send a link to an online showing of your stuff. Include the link in your cover letter. If writing skills are asked for, your cover letter should demonstrate those skills as well.If an employer only asks for resume and cover letter is it acceptable to also send them your portfolio and writing samples? What about generic recommendation letters?
What if its a really cool job you really want?

Do not send generic recommendation letters; they carry little weight and it is too early in the process. Recruiters are just weeding out the chaff. Once the chaff is gone, they will begin looking for those to interview. A good cover letter keeps you in the game; your resume supports the impression created by the cover letter; your samples confirm everything with real world examples. They call you for an interview. In the interview you cans show them your full portfolio if they say you can show it. Most companies don't check references until they are down to the final candidates and are preparing an offer.
Thanks, that helps. Since you seem to know about this stuff, do you happen to know if someone should file taxes for the coming tax season (April 16th I think?) if they started a job a month or two ago or do they wait for the next tax season before filing?

define "media" and "about them"Which military units don't have any media about them? Platoons and companies have movies and games. What about, say, divisions and corps?
