Cover Letters
Heading to job fairs after almost 12 years at a regional... Any clue how to address cover letters? Can't find any info about any airline as very few are currently hiring. Specifically looking for names and addresses of hiring managers. Otherwise, how to address a cover letter without that info?

You don't need a cover letter and recruiters don't want to read them.

Agreed. Save cover letters for interviews not job fairs.

Thanks for the replies... Going to Women in Aviation in Dallas, to start. Last year, it seemed like I was in the minority without a cover letter. But I also heard the same about recruiters not wanting to read them. With that said, and feeling confident in the format of my resume, how should I present it? Folder? By itself? It just looks unbalanced without something on the other side of the folder... Also, should I attach a business card? Lots of questions that should have been asked sooner! But thanks for the help/suggestions

No business card. Just tri-fold the resume. It's just going in a stack anyway. Your personal interaction with the recruiter will determine your chances. You will either go in the call later file or the circular file.
Good luck. |

Good luck. If you are targeting certain companies, make sure you do your homework on that company. You do not want to talk to the Delta rep and say you would love to be based in Houston. It does happen. |

I have to disagree about folding your resume. Recruiters want to be able to take notes on your resume when talking to you. It is difficult to do with a folded resume. Please use resume paper, not copier paper. Make sure the watermark lines up correctly with the font. Do not use a folder.
