1. It is not wise to post personal info on a public forum.
2. You are talking to line pilots here... everyone thinks they know how it works, because they got hired with their technique. Not saying that it doesn't, but what worked for one person may not work for another.
There are professional services out there than can help you with this kind of stuff, look in your local yellow pages or Google it. Yes, it will cost you a few bucks, but it will be well worth it if it helps you land a job.
If you graduated from a college or university, they often have a Career Services type of office that is specifically designed to help current students, as well as graduates with exactly this kind of stuff (Resumes, Cover Letters, Interview prep. etc.) Even if you've been graduated for a while, you can still use the service for free in most cases, thats why you paid all those student fees while you were at college. Even if you didn't go to an aviation specific college this service can still be valuable... aviation recruiters and interviews are not as different from most other HR operations as many people think.
I'm not trying to harp on anyones advice here, because there have been some good suggestions on this thread as well as on a few others, however I do think you will have a better chance at landing a job if you seek out someone who does this for a living, and whom you can submit your actual Resume/Cover letter to, without fear of releasing personal information.
That being said, I hope everyone here successfully lands a job.
If there are guys out there that are really struggling with this application/resume/cover letter thing, PM me and we can work something out. My wife does this stuff for a living, and I am sure you can get the same quality for a much lower fee than going to google or some recent college grad.
